What is the answer to the one who says: Most of the hadiths in the book *Tawhid* by Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab are weak?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is your view of the one who says that most of the hadiths in the book *Tawhid* by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) are weak, so it must be corrected, the weak ones removed, and authentic ones placed in their stead?

Answer:
The one who says this is truly the weak one; he is weak in his religion and his creed. The Shaykh does not mention hadiths without something supporting them from authentic hadiths or from verses; he does not mention them in isolation. He mentions them under verses or under authentic hadiths. The weak hadith is used as evidence; it is not neglected and left aside, nor is it ever discarded or not acted upon. However, rulings are not established upon it; rather, it is used for guidance and supported by the authentic hadith and by corroborating narrations. The one who says this is ignorant; he does not know the value of the book *Tawhid*. He does not know the value of the book *Tawhid*. And as I mentioned to you, when the ignorant launched an attack on the hadiths through tracing, correcting, and declaring them weak, and they are ignorant, merely transmitting the words of others whom they do not understand either, this happened, and there was doubt cast upon the books of the scholars of knowledge. So one must be warned of this with the utmost warning.
