The Authenticity and Explanation of the Hadith: "We Have More Right to Doubt than Ibrahim"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is this hadith, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "We have more right to doubt than Ibrahim," authentic? And what is its explanation?

Answer:
Yes, this is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "We do not purify ourselves." He said (peace and blessings be upon him), "We do not declare ourselves pure, nor do we purify ourselves. We are not, we are not more deserving of being accused than Ibrahim." That is, we should consider that we are in need of knowledge, in need of increasing our faith and certainty. Yes.
