The Shaykh’s talk about his project on the Sunan, and their classification into authentic and weak.

The Shaykh : ... ... ... .
You are saying now: Was it not better to restrict it? ... If it had been abbreviated by the chains of narration, it would have been ... a name fitting its description, but when the chains of narration were deleted, it was not correct to name it ... There are other errors; if you examine them, there are other errors in what is called ... , in other errors in the abbreviation and in the comments taken from the edition of Fu'ad 'Abd al-Baqi. One of the worst is that the one who printed "al-Sahih" came with a hadith ... or as he said - (peace and blessings be upon him) - . He transferred the comment of 'Abd al-Baqi from his edition, and he had transferred it from Abu al-Hasan al-Sindi, that this hadith indicates the virtue of the Prophet, then ... in the speech, he mentioned two hadiths, the best of their states is that they are weak. It is the hadith: , this is used as evidence ... for visiting the grave, and this is a weak hadith, and another hadith with the same meaning. This comes in "Sahih Ibn Majah"; it is supposed that ... Ibn Majah compiled it, and he is the one who judges the weakness of these hadiths.
The point - may Allah bless you - is: I was tasked - ... the speech - I was tasked to give the grades of the hadiths of "Sunan Ibn Majah," then "Sunan al-Tirmidhi," then "Sunan al-Nasa'i," then "Sunan Abu Dawud," and I did so. But others took it up for printing, then deleted the chains of narration or ... and so on, and then commented on it, so the matter became problematic. Do you see how?
The second point - ... the speech - : This offer was presented to me, and some people came to me, including some of my old Salafi friends ... Do you know 'Abd al-Rahman al-Bani?

The questioner: I have heard of him.

The Shaykh: You have heard of him. The important thing is that he offered me to work on this project, and this benefits the Muslim community, and the state adopts it, publishes it, and so on. I said to him - with this fear - and I sought guidance, and my heart was at ease with this project, because among the reasons was that it would not take much of my time in reality, I would just give ... and go. But if I had known what I know now, I would not have done it; because it became clear later that this work should be adopted by one person, and not some of it done by one and the rest by another, and so on. The point is, when this offer was presented to me and I was convinced by it; what do I do with the previous projects? They must stop, meaning, and "the winds blow as they please."
Please.
