[Machine] I heard Anas bin Malik saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the family of Muhammad. He replied, "They are all righteous, and this cannot be used as an argument against anyone except those like him (i.e., righteous)." Nafi‘ Al-Sulami, Abu Hurairah, from Busra, Yaḥya bin Ma'een dismissed him as a liar, and Ahmad bin Hanbal considered him weak. Other scholars of preservation have differed on this matter, and success is from Allah.
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كُلُّ تَقِيٍّ وَهَذَا لَا يَحِلُّ الِاحْتِجَاجُ بِمِثْلِهِ نَافِعٌ السُّلَمِيُّ أَبُو هُرْمُزَ مِنْ بُصْرَى كَذَّبَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
