Catching the Takbir al-Ihram and the Hadiths Circulated on Mobile Phones

The questioner:
All right, go ahead, my brother Ibrahim. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Peace. With your permission, Shaykh, I want to ask about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the Takbir al-Ihram: "Whoever catches the Takbir al-Ihram for forty days..." ...hypocrisy. Does the Takbir al-Ihram mean up to when the imam begins the prayer, or up to when he begins reciting al-Fatihah, or up to the Takbir of bowing? And I have a request, Shaykh: I want you to give advice to those who transmit fabricated hadiths. Nowadays, they are spreading on mobile phones, and everyone sends messages. Frankly, these are hadiths that are not proper, frankly. Thank you, thank you. May Allah help you. Go ahead, your takfir.
The Shaykh:
First, first, first. The takbir of forty days, I do not know of it at all; I do not know if it is established from it. Second, the takbir of ihram is caught by catching it: if he is present with the imam and says takbir after him, he has caught it. Yes, this is the first question.
The questioner:
The second question: Are fabricated hadiths, Shaykh Salih, being transmitted on mobile phones?
The Shaykh:
Fabricated hadiths on mobile phones are not accepted from mobile phones. It is necessary that the hadith be traced to the source from which it was taken and its grade be clarified as to whether it is authentic, good, or weak. This is necessary, so hadiths are not taken from mobile phones or from those who write in them. Because those who write them may be ignorant, or they may be misguided and corrupt. So hadiths are not accepted. Praise be to Allah, hadiths are recorded in the Sahihs, the Musnads, and the Diwans of the Sunnah, and one refers to them. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah preserve you, Shaykh Salih. Returning to his first question about the takbir of ihram, it is repeated on some tongues, and people repeat: "Whoever memorizes with the imam for forty times, two certificates of freedom are written for him."
The Shaykh:
I said, I do not know this and I do not know. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
