Weak Hadiths in the Book of Tawhid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: There are some weak hadiths in the Book of Tawhid, and we are studying it.
The Shaykh:
May Allah guide you. The Book of Tawhid is a selection of chosen works, and it is the composition of a distinguished scholar and a great caller to Islam from among the callers to Islam. First, he does not mention a weak hadith, or the weak hadiths in it are few. Second, he does not mention a weak hadith unless there are corroborating narrations that support it, or he mentions it under a verse that precedes it in the heading or at the beginning of the chapter, because it falls under its meaning and what it indicates. Therefore, he does not mention a weak hadith that stands alone from the authentic evidences. Rather, he mentions a weak hadith either because it has corroborating narrations and supporting chains that raise it to the level of hasan (good), or because it falls under the meaning of a verse or an authentic hadith whose meaning the weak hadith indicated; the verse indicated it, or an authentic hadith indicated it, and it is supported by that. Yes.
The questioner:
This is easy. He says: What is the opinion of those who say...
The Shaykh:
Also, the Shaykh does not mention a hadith that is unanimously agreed to be weak. He does not mention a hadith unless there is something in it that is good, or there is someone who has authenticated it.
