Is it preferable to leave aside the commentaries of al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar due to the presence of some errors in their books?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I was with some students of knowledge a while ago, and one of them said, "If there were a commentary by the people of the Sunnah other than the commentaries of al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar, we would adopt it." My question is: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of such a statement?

Answer:
This is bad talk. Imam Ibn Hajar and Imam al-Nawawi are two of the imams of the people of the Sunnah. The fact that some errors occur in their works does not detract from their imamate, their knowledge, their status, or the trust placed in them. Perhaps you have a hundred errors in what you say in this statement. No one is free from errors, but their virtues, may Allah have mercy on them, overwhelm their errors. Their virtues and their noble deeds overwhelm their errors.
