I WILL BE MUCH OBLIGED IF YOU COULD TELL ME IF THE B/M HADEETH IS “SAHEE” OR OTHERWISE. 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2526  Narrated by Anas ibn Malik

The Prophet (saws) said: 'Three things are the roots of faith:

1.   To refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah"

2.   And not to declare a believer an unbeliever whatever sin he commits,

3.   And not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any actions.'

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Authenticity of Hadith

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person,  no grave, no prophet,  no imam,  no dai,  nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

According to the opinion of the eminent scholars of ahaadith, the above quoted hadith by Hadrat Anas ibn Malik and reported in the Sunan of Abu Dawood is absolutely authentic and declared as ‘Saheeh’ with a sound chain of narrators.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
