In this context, the hadith encourages individuals to avoid harmful or negative social influences and to be mindful of their speech, emphasizing the importance of guarding one’s words and maintaining good character in interactions with others, becomes highly relevant for critical and contextual examination. This research aims to analyze the authenticity of the hadith “al-waḥdah khayr min jalīs al-sū’” through sanad criticism and to explore its relevance from the perspective of contemporary social psychology.
