What is meant by the stories that the Salaf warned against mentioning in sermons?

Question:
May Allah guide you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: It is well known that the Salaf warned against the stories that are told to people. Is the one who delivers lectures consisting entirely of stories similar to what the Salaf warned against, especially since some say that the Qur'an encourages stories? How do we reconcile the Salaf's warning against stories with the verse?

Answer:
We have said this before. We said that the stories meant are the authentic, established ones. These are mentioned in sermons and addresses. As for stories that are not established, these are not brought up in sermons or addresses. This is the reconciliation between the fact that the Salaf warned against stories, because they generally relied on unestablished stories in order to affect people. They would answer with things and tales that are not established. Their intention was to affect people. They might bring up fabricated hadiths attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) containing fabricated stories attributed to the Messenger. So they prohibited it for that reason, to avoid lying and spreading lies.
As for the established stories, the stories of the prophets in the Qur'an, the stories mentioned by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) or mentioned by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in authentic hadiths, these are brought up for the purpose of reminding people. However, they are brought up only to the extent that the sermon is not made entirely of stories. Rather, an authentic, established story is mentioned among the other content, and something good is commented upon in the sermon regarding it. This is it. Yes.
