Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In a past lesson, when mentioning the words of Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), “and they accept the authentic narrations as they came in the authentic athar (reports) that came from the trustworthy, upright, from upright, until that reaches the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),” the questioner says: Some understood from your words that a hasan hadith is not relied upon in matters of creed, but is only used for guidance.
Answer:
The weak one—I said the weak one—but some of the brothers thought that I did not want to clarify the statement, or rather that I wanted to give it a place in the discussion. I did not say this. I say that a weak hadith is used for guidance in matters of encouragement and warning.
And if it falls under a general rule or under authentic evidence, it is used for guidance. As for the hasan, it is part of the authentic category.
It is part of the authentic category. In the beginning, they divided hadith into two categories: authentic and weak, with the hasan included within the authentic. The first time the three-part division occurred was with al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him), with al-Tirmidhi; he divided hadith into authentic, hasan, and weak. Yes.
