Question:
There are now many books of hadith, and they have been traced by well-known scholars. So, is that relied upon regarding the authenticity or weakness of a hadith for us?
Answer:
One becomes accustomed to it if the annotators are specialists in the science of hadith who are known in the science of hadith; in that case, it is trusted. However, if they are merely transmitters who copy from other books and add marginal notes, and they have not mastered the hadith, but only transmit what so-and-so said, then that is not relied upon.
