There is a level in Jannat called al Wasilah
في الجنة درجة تدعى الوسيلة قالوا من يسكن معك فيها قال علي و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين
“There is a level in Jannat called al Wasilah.”
They enquired, “Who will reside with you therein?”
He answered, “‘Ali, Fatimah, Hassan, and Hussain.”
Ibn Kathir mentioned this.[1] However, I could not locate it in any of the reliable sources of the Sunnah.
Sharik appears in the isnad. He is truthful, but has a weak memory and was afflicted with ikhtilat. He cannot be used as proof when alone. The majority of the Ahl al Jarh wa al Ta’dil agree on this.
Al Albani says, “Al Hakim supposes that Muslim used Sharik as proof, and al Dhahabi concurs with him. Whereas the truth is that Muslim did not use him as proof. He only documented his narrations as mutabi’at (corroborations) as more than one of the muhaqqiqin have affirmed. In fact, al Dhahabi himself asserts this in al Mizan. Al Hakim and al Dhahabi are prone to make this blunder. They authenticate the ahadith of Sharik on the standards of Muslim.[2]
Abu Ishaq al Sabi’i is also one of the narrators. He is reliable but is guilty of tadlis. Hence, when he narrates with ‘an, his narration will not be accepted and he did just that in this narration.
