Sunan Abi Dawud 248

سنن أبي داود#248Da'if

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَجِيهٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ جَنَابَةً فَاغْسِلُوا الشَّعْرَ وَأَنْقُوا الْبَشَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَجِيهٍ حَدِيثُهُ مُنْكَرٌ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ‏.‏

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There is sexual defilement under every hair; so wash the hair and cleanse the skin. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Harith b. Wajih is rejected (Munkar). He is weak (in transmission)

Scholarly Authentication

The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave, each scholar counted once — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them. If any scholar calls a narration fabricated, that verdict is shown instead, whatever the others say. When they judged only its chain of narrators (“Isnaad”), the label says “Sound chain”. Each scholar's own wording:

Al-AlbaniDaif
Shuaib Al ArnautDaif
Zubair Ali ZaiDaif

Our source also lists this ruling under Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid, the editor of the printed edition it was taken from. It is al-Albani's ruling printed again, so it is counted once.
