Sunan Abi Dawud 3472

سنن أبي داود#3472Hasan

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ جَائِحَةَ فِيمَا أُصِيبَ دُونَ ثُلُثِ رَأْسِ الْمَالِ - قَالَ يَحْيَى - وَذَلِكَ فِي سُنَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ‏.‏

Yahya b. Sa'id said:Blight is not effective when less than one-third of goods are damaged. Yayha said: That has been the established practice of Muslims

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-AlbaniHasan Maqtu
Shuaib Al ArnautMaqtu
Zubair Ali ZaiIsnaad Hasan

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.
