Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Do the books Al-Adhkar by al-Nawawi and Al-Wabil al-Sayb contain weak hadiths? Please explain how to deal with this situation, how we distinguish the authentic from the weak, and is there a book that focuses on authentic adhkar?
Answer:
Yes, these books may not be free of weak hadiths, but a weak hadith is acted upon in such cases, in the adhkar and the virtues of deeds, as the scholars have explicitly stated, provided that its weakness is not extreme, especially if it has corroborating narrations that strengthen it. It is well known that these two books, Al-Wabil al-Sayb by Ibn al-Qayyim and Al-Adhkar by al-Nawawi, are good books; because they are the works of two great imams among the imams of Islam. They do not include in these books what is not suitable for action. Therefore, the result is that these two books are a source of trust, and praise be to Allah, especially since the scholars have stated that a weak hadith is acted upon in the virtues of deeds, provided that its weakness is not extreme. Yes.
