The ruling on relying on the hadith references in the marginal notes of book editions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In some editions of this book, *Fath al-Mujid*, which has multiple editions, there are references to hadiths and athar in the marginal notes. Do we rely on them regarding their authenticity or weakness?

Answer:
They are modern, meaning modern annotations. Yes, refer to them, unless you know that they are not authentic, in which case leave them. But refer to them.

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: The commentary on the adhkar (remembrances)

Answer:
But be aware that there are people who, even if they find among them one who has written that the Book of Tawhid is weak—meaning the weak hadiths in the Book of Tawhid—this is not permissible. Yes, a weak hadith may appear in the Book of Tawhid, but it must have something to corroborate it from verses or authentic hadiths; it must be under another proof that testifies to it and strengthens it. Yes, so a person should not be hasty in such a matter. Yes.
