Clarifying the weakness of the hadith of 'Amir ibn Rabi'ah and its corroborating narrations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the first hadith of 'Amir ibn Rabi'ah is weak. We ask you to clarify its weakness, and why it is not followed as a proof when other hadiths support it? They say that it is because there is a weak narrator in its chain, which is why the hadith is weak.

Answer:
Some of them call them corroborating narrations, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
and the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allahفَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:115]
These support the meaning of the hadith, even if it is weak. Yes.
