The authenticity of ‘A’isha (ra)’s (d. 58/678) tradition, oft-cited by Ahmadi Muslims, endorsing the use of “Seal of the Prophets” over “There is no Prophet after him [i.e. the Messenger of Allah (sa)]”, is often doubted by non-Ahmadis.
Following is a 🧵 proving its authenticity: Image The 1st objection is that its isnad would be interrupted (munqati‘) since Jarir b. Hazim (d. 170/786), who seems to transmit it from ‘A’isha (ra), did not hear traditions from her.

I was contacted regarding this answer given by Ḥuḍūr (aba). A critic said that this was wrong & the Prophet (saw) had said that one would stay in the grave (qabr) or barzakh after death and would go to Paradise/Hell only after the Day of Resurrection (yawm al-qiyāmah). (1/24) He said that according to "all" scholars one would stay in the grave & the destined dweller of Paradise/Hell would have a window to see his place in Paradise/Hell, and that what Ḥuḍūr (aba) had said would be contrary to the sources of Islam, i.e. the Qur’ān and Sunnah.
