There is no book of Hadeeth compiled by Shia or Sunni scholars which is 100% and fully authentic in each and every narration. Al-Kafi is the most authentic book of Hadeeth among Shia scholars. Bukhari is claimed to be fully authentic by many Sunnis but it contains narrations which go against Quran and allegation against the Prophets. The authentic Hadeeths in Al-Kufi are more in number than all the total authentic Hadeeths in all the six books of Sunni Hadeeth الصحاح الستة.
Number of unrepeated narrations in Saheeh al-Bukhari is 2602 and in Saheeh Muslim 4000, while the number of unrepeated narration mentioned in both Bukhari and Muslim is 2514 narrations.
Allama Mohammad Baqir al-Majlisi is a great scholar in the Hadeeth sciences and he compiled the well known collection of Hadeeth in his famous book Biharul Anwaar. He has written others books as well. His grading is according to his own research and Ejtihaad. Other scholars have their grading which can be like or different from his grading as all the Mujahid scholars are free in their research in the narrators and narrations.
Al-Kaafi book has the most authentic collection of narrations of Hadeeth but we don't say that every narration in al-Kaafi is equally authentic. The expert scholars have their right to study and verify every narration.
This narration is weak and not authentic because of its narrator (Jafar al-Khuza'ee) is unknown and never been authenticated by any of our Ulama. Al-Majlisi in Baharul Anwaar mentioned that this narration is weak.
Al-Kho'ee in Mo'jam Rijal al-Hadeeth stated that the narrator ( Jafar Al-Khzaa'ee is unknown.
'The authentic narrations in all Shia books and many Sunni books stated that this verse was revealed on the Day of Ghadeer. (Al-Kafi 1:289, and 1:198)
Many Sunni scholars narrated authentic Hadeeths that this verse was revealed on the Day of Ghadeer e.g.
1.Al-Tabari in his book Al-Wilayah,
2, Ibn Oqdah.
3. Ibn Asaakir.
4. Ibn Mardawayh.
5. Al-Hafidh Abu Na'eem in his book (Maha Nazala Min al-Quran Fi Ali).
6. Al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi in Tareekh Baghdad 8:290 .
7.al-Hafidh al-Sijistani in his book al-Wikayah.
8. Al-Khawarizmi in al-Manaaqib:page 80.
9. al-Hamaweeni al-Hanafi in Faraa'id al-Simtayn in chapter 12.
No scholar can turn his face away from many authentic narrations and take instead a single weak narration.
Such narration is not authentic because all ethnic backgrounds are equal in Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Infallible Imams have married women from deferent ethnic backgrounds.
