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:
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
