Sahih Muslim 43

صحيح مسلم#43Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ يَهُودِيًّا أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

A similar hadith has been reported on the authority of Anas (with another chain of transmitters) with the exception of these words:that he again becomes a Jew or a Christian

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:

Every narration in Sahih Muslim is accepted as Sahih (authentic) by the established status of the book.

Sahih Muslim 43 is the standard (Abd al-Baqi) number; this narration is #167 in the MuslimGPT index.
