The Necessity of Warning Against Weak and Fabricated Hadiths

Eid Abbasi : Another matter—also negative—that the Salafis warn against and draw attention to is those weak and fabricated hadiths that served as the basis for many religious innovations. These hadiths have become widespread among people in their citation and mention, by preachers, teachers, writers, and authors. You find books overflowing with attributing statements to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is innocent of these statements, yet they do not feel any hesitation. Even though the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) frequently warns against this, cautions about it, and explains its severity, stating that lying about him is not like lying about others . They use the hadith attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to make permissible what is not valid; they use it to make the forbidden permissible, and to establish rulings, and so on. This is also a significant matter upon which the Salafi call is built, clarifying what is authentic in the hadith from what is not authentic.
This is an introduction in which I have been lengthy. I feel... the continuation does not allow for the space now, which is the Salafi position regarding other calls. Perhaps that will be in another position and another gathering, if Allah wills. And our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

Eid Abbasi : And beware of that.
