Distinguishing Between Fabricated and Authentic Hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may the prayers and peace be upon our Prophet and our master Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. My dear listeners, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. May Allah make your times full of all good. This is a new episode of Light on the Path with your messages. In this episode, we present your messages to the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and a member of the Council of Senior Scholars. At the beginning of this episode, we welcome Shaykh Salih and thank him for graciously answering the listeners’ questions. So, welcome. May Allah keep you safe and bless you.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. We return to a message received by the program from the listener Zay Waw Ya from Syria. We presented his case in a previous episode, and in this meeting he asks and says: How can we distinguish between fabricated hadiths and authentic hadiths, and how can we distinguish between bid'ah (religious innovation) and what our master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do? Please clarify these matters for us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, the fabricated hadiths have been exposed by the preservers among the hadith scholars, and they have been clarified, and books have been compiled in which they are gathered and detailed, praise be to Allah. These are many books in which the false and fabricated hadiths are collected, such as al-Mawdu'at by Ibn al-Jawzi. Good. And al-Lala' al-Masnu'ah fi al-Ahadith al-Mawdu'ah by al-Suyuti, and al-Asrar al-Marfu'ah fi al-Ahadith al-Mawdu'ah by Ibn 'Ata, and al-Fawa'id al-Majmu'ah fi al-Ahadith al-Mawdu'ah by al-Shawkani,
