Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hasan hadith attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? And if so, what prevents relying on it, as long as it is considered evidence?
Answer:
What we said is that it is not relied upon; we say it is relied upon, but in matters of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), it must be from the sahih (authentic) hadiths. The hasan is sometimes sahih, and that is why al-Tirmidhi says "hasan sahih," meaning sahih from one route and hasan from another. The hasan is not uniform; some of it reaches the level of sahih. In fact, the early scholars divided hadith into two categories: sahih and da'if (weak), including the hasan in the sahih.
