Question:
A questioner asks: Is there a difference between saying “Al-Tirmidhi reported it” and “Al-Tirmidhi reported it and authenticated it”?
Answer:
Yes, there is a difference between authentication and mere reporting. Al-Tirmidhi reports authentic and good hadiths, and he also reports weak ones; they are not all of the same status, but he makes this clear (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
