What is the response to those who weaken the hadith of the division?

Question:
The questioner: We ask for a response to those who weaken the hadith of the division, saying that this hadith is weak in both its text and its chain of narration.

Answer:
The scholars of knowledge, the scholars of hadith, have responded to them, and this is found in the tracing of the hadith. So refer to it; refer to it in the books of hadith tracing. The hadith has many narrations that support one another, and the hadith is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). No one points out a defect in it except one who wants the Muslims to remain divided. He says, "Freedom of opinion." That is their intention: freedom of opinion. They say, "You gather the people on one opinion; let the people be free in their opinions, and let each have his own opinion." That means we do not gather the people on the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He calls it "one opinion." The opinion of the Messenger is one opinion. That means, in his view, the Messenger and others are the same. We ask Allah for well-being. So do not pay attention to such people, nor to their barking, at all. Yes.
