Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the first hadith of 'Amir ibn Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) is weak. We ask you to clarify its weakness and why it is not narrated, given that there are hadiths that support it.
Answer:
They say it is because there is a weak narrator in it; there is a weak narrator in its chain, which is why the hadith is weak. Some say it has corroborating narrations; it has corroborating narrations, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted[At-Taghabun 64:16], and such as the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Baqarah 2:115]. These support the meaning of the hadith, even though it is weak. Yes.
