Guidance on the mention of weak hadiths in the marginal notes and the use of them as evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the hadiths that are read to us in this lesson are mentioned in some of the marginal notes as being weak. He says: What is the guidance regarding this? And are they used as evidence?
Answer:
The scholars know more than you. They did not mention them to deceive people. If they were not used as evidence, and if they did not have chains that strengthen one another, they would not have mentioned them. So trust in Allah, then in the scholars, and do not have a bad opinion like some of those who claim knowledge of hadith but do not know this matter. They only look at the books and say, "We know the grades of hadith." But they did not narrate them from anyone, nor did they learn from anyone; they only take them from the books. Are hadiths not respected? No. And the scholars did not mention them to deceive, or because they are ignorant and do not know. Yes.
