Our Shaykh, is it authentic from Ibn al-Qayyim that he said: "A sign of a weak hadith is little practice and much reward; for example, the hadith about entering the market?"

The questioner : Our Shaykh, is it authentic from Ibn al-Qayyim that he said: "A sign of a weak hadith is little practice and much reward; for example, the hadith about entering the market?"

The Shaykh : Yes, but it is not a consistent rule; that is, it is not permissible to adopt it as a consistent rule. However, the majority of hadiths whose chains are not authentic fit this description by Ibn al-Qayyim. But there are authentic hadiths, and if Ibn al-Qayyim's aforementioned statement is taken in its absolute sense, it would lead us to the same result that led some contemporary scholars to dismiss authentic hadiths based merely on opinion. For example, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), which is established in "al-Sahihayn" =
-- This is very cold.Another questioner: Be patient for a moment.The Shaykh: You do what your friend did... I want to ask you a question.Another questioner : Please, our Shaykh.The Shaykh: Your friend said: We ate it, right?Another questioner: We learned it, we learned it... ... --
= So we have an example: if this valuable statement is taken in its absolute sense, we would use it to dismiss what is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Among such examples is his saying in "al-Sahihayn": , what do you think, is this a lot of practice or a little?

The questioner: A little practice.

The Shaykh: And the reward?

The questioner : Elderly.

The Shaykh: ... , and so you can draw the analogy; therefore, the advice is that Ibn al-Qayyim's statement is not permissible to publish except among the specialists; because it will be placed in the wrong context. And Ibn al-Qayyim, due to the precision of his jurisprudence, dared to say things that had not been said before; so he is usually correct. For example, he was asked (and this is exactly of that nature): "Is it possible to distinguish an authentic hadith from a weak one without referring to the chain of narration?" The truth is, referring to the chain of narration is a difficult problem that even the great scholars cannot handle; we need an easy way. But what was his answer? Do you think his answer was easy or difficult? He said: "Yes, an authentic hadith can be distinguished from a weak one by the one in whose veins the hadith flows like blood." Who is the one in whose veins the hadith flows like blood? A very, very small number of scholars. So this remains a sister to that... and it is not permissible to generalize it for two reasons, ... for people to rely on their own minds and to act arrogantly, authenticating and weakening hadiths as they please.

The questioner : ... .
... ... ... .

The Shaykh: I think you got the answer?

The questioner: I got the answer, I would like if something like this could be added, meaning.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner: Also like the issue of "Ya Haymirah," so he says - alsoThe Shaykh- : That all hadiths in which the beginning is "Ya Haymirah"; are they all not authentic?

The Shaykh: Yes, this is like that, it is not in its absolute sense. And I authenticated a hadith containing the word "Haymirah" which is found in "Adab al-Zafaf" (Etiquettes of the Wedding).
The questioner : Yes, I do.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
