Abu Dawud 4131 (fixed): Explanation and Context

Overview

Abu Dawud 4131 refers to a hadith reported in Sunan Abū Dāwūd (one of the six major Sunni hadith collections). “Fixed” here likely means the text or numbering as stabilized in standard editions or that the hadith’s chain/text has been subject to scrutiny and fixed (corrected) by scholars. Below is a concise, structured article summarizing the hadith’s content, chain (isnād) issues, classification, scholarly commentary, and practical lessons.

• Imam Abu Dawood himself hinted at its weakness by noting the Irsal (chain gap).
• Al-Hafidh al-Dhahabi (in Mizan al-I’tidal) indicated the chain is "waahin" (feeble).
• Al-Albani (the giant of modern Hadith authentication) explicitly graded it Da'if in his abridgment of Shama'il al-Tirmidhi and in his notes on Sunan Abi Dawood.

2. A Shadh (Aberrant) Narration

The Hadith contradicts other more authentic narrations regarding the event. In Sahih Muslim (Book 1, Hadith 406), the story of the man in Dhil-Majaz is narrated without the specific, problematic wording about the "worn out sheets" and the direct line from Dhu al-‘Ushairah. Because Abu Dawood 4131 contains extra wording that is not supported by stronger chains, it is classified as Shadh (anomalous/irregular). abu dawood 4131 fixed
