71 Ibn Taymiyyah said in Al-Furqan PP. 44-45: "This hadith has no source and nobody whomsoever in the field of Islamic knowledge has narrated it.  Jihad against the disbelievers is the most noble of actions and moreover it is the most important action for the sake of mankind." Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdadi reports it as daeef (weak) due to the narrator Khalaf bin Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Khiyam.  Al-Haakim says, "His hadiths are unreliable.  "Abu Ya'la Al-Khalili says, "He often adulterates, is very weak and narrates unknown hadith, " (Mashari-ul-Ashwaq, Ibn Nuhas 1/3 1).  There is also the narrator Yahya bin Al-Ula who is a known liar and forgerer of hadith (Ahmad).  Amru bin Ali, An-Nasai and Ad-Daraqutni state, "His hadith are renounced.  " Ibn Adi states, "His hddith arefalse, " (Tahzeeb-ut-Tahzeeb II /261 262) Ibn Hajar said, "He was accused offorging hadith, " (At-Taghrib).  Adh-Dhababi said, "Abu Hatim said that he is not a strong narrator, Ibn Maeen classified him as weak and Ad-Daraqutni said that he is to be neglected.
