Authenticity of The Event
The event is considered to be weak, by the standards of Hadith authentication. This is because of the problems with the chain of narrators of the events. Ibn Kathir, in his famous Quranic exegesis, says the following, with regards to the event:
"...these reports all come through Mursal chains of narration and I do not think that any of them may be regarded as Sahih"

Famous quotes containing the word event:
“A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
