At-Tirmithi's statement "there is nothing wrong with its chain of narration"

Question

I was wondering, what does At-Tirmidhi mean when he uses this: there is nothing wrong with its chain of narration for a hadith? Does it mean that it is weak?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

The statement of At-Tirmithi "there is nothing wrong with its chain of narration" does not mean that the report is weak to him, which is clear. Ibn Sayyid An-Naas wrote in his commentary on At-Tirmithi's statement regarding a hadeeth there is nothing wrong with its chain of narration, "The hadeeth that there is nothing wrong with its chain of narration should include the two categories Saheeh (sound) and Hasan (good). So the least of its classification is that it is Hasan."

Dear brother, you have sent us so many questions about Hadeeth terminology that they seem to be endless to us. This may cause us to disregard your future questions. We have already mentioned to you that the fatwa section in our website is not concerned with teaching beginners or explaining the text of reference books. Rather, it is mainly concerned with issuing fatwas for those who need to know the religious rulings on the matters that concern them. We have previously advised you to study this discipline at the hands of a specialized scholar. We hope that you will act upon our advice and that this will be your last question about Hadeeth terminology.

Allah knows best.
