A principle in hadith, which is: long hadiths containing much exhortation and advice are predominantly weak.

The Shaykh : And there is a principle of predominance: that long hadiths containing much exhortation and advice are predominantly weak. Therefore, in addition to what I mentioned earlier about those who publish these bulletins containing these hadiths being people who do not track down authentic hadiths, as for what the publisher mentioned about al-Mustaghfiri, al-Mustaghfiri actually has a book titled *Al-Du'awat* (The Supplications), which, to my knowledge, has not been printed yet. However, in what al-Hafiz al-Suyuti quotes—and I do not rule out that the transmitter took this hadith from al-Suyuti’s *Al-Jami' al-Kabir*—in what al-Suyuti quotes from al-Mustaghfiri in his book *Al-Du'awat*, there are many weak hadiths. Therefore, one should not rely on what this hadith scholar, al-Mustaghfiri, narrates unless one returns to the chain of narration of the hadith. And there is no way to return to its chain, because the book is still in the realm of manuscripts, or rather in the realm of lost works, as I believe. But in any case, it is not mentioned in the hadiths that are concerned with citing selected hadiths of exhortation and advice from established hadiths. This is what comes to my mind to mention now on the occasion of the question about this long hadith.
