You and your partisans will be in Jannat

أخبرنا الساجي ثنا موسى بن إسحاق الكناني قال ثنا عبد الحميد الحماني عن أبي جناب عن أبي سليمان عن عمه عن علي قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم أنت و شيعتك في الجنة و إن قوما يقال لهم الرافضة فإن لقيتهم فاقتلهم فإنهم مشركون

Al Saji informed us―Musa ibn Ishaq al Kinani narrated to us―’Abdul Hamid al Himmani narrated to us from―Abu Janab from―Abu Sulaiman from―his maternal uncle from―’Ali who reports that Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam stated:

You and your partisans will be in Jannat. There is a nation that are called the Rafidah. If you meet them, kill them for they are polytheists.

This narration is mawdu’.[1] Al Dhahabi states, “Ibn al Jawzi has recorded it in al Mawdu’at.”[2]

Yahya ibn Abi Hayyah Abu Janab al Kalbi is problematic.

Yahya al Qattan comments, “I do not regard narrating from him as permissible.”[3]

My comments: Sawwar ibn Mus’ab appears in the isnad as well.

Sawwar ibn Mus’ab

Al Bukhari comments, “Sawwar ibn Mus’ab al Hamdani heard from Kulayb ibn Wa’il and ‘ He is reckoned among the Kufiyyin as munkar al hadith.”[4]
Ibn Abi Hatim says, “Yahya ibn Ma’in was asked about Sawwar ibn Mus’ab and remarked, ‘He is Sawwar al A’ma (the blind) the mu’ He is da’if, worthless. ‘Abdul Rahman narrated to us that he asked his father about him who said: He is Matruk al Hadith. His ahadith should not be written. Weak in hadith.’”[5]
