Facilitating access to authentic hadiths and identifying weak and fabricated hadiths.

The Shaykh : As for authentic hadiths and distinguishing them from weak hadiths, this undoubtedly falls within the scope of my general remarks earlier. We have words and lectures in which we clarify the previous point: the Book and the Sunnah must be understood according to the methodology of the righteous Salaf. And I said earlier: What is the path to knowing the righteous Salaf and what they were upon? It is the Sunnah, but the Sunnah contains the authentic, the weak, and the fabricated.
What is the path to distinguishing this from that from that? Our usual answer is the science of hadith. The science of hadith is one of the problems of Islamic groups today; you hardly find among them one who concerns himself with the science of hadith. Therefore, you find that the writings of Islamic writers today are full of weak and fabricated hadiths. This is one of the problems that requires detailed research in a forum other than this one.
In any case, with the knowledge and time we have, we do what we can to achieve this desire. Perhaps you are aware of my series "The Series of Authentic Hadiths and Some of Its Jurisprudence and Benefits," of which two volumes have been printed, each containing five hundred hadiths. The other series, "The Series of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths and Their Bad Effect on the Ummah," has had five hundred hadiths printed in one volume, and now we are printing another five hundred in a second volume. I have the complete five thousand weak and fabricated hadiths prepared for printing, but we ask Allah to facilitate its printing.
The point is that this is an obligatory matter, but one person cannot undertake it alone.

The questioner : Yes, my teacher, I mean that these weak hadiths, for example, could be published in a small booklet that both the old and the young can obtain at a low price, or it could be distributed for free, explaining two or three hadiths, for example, as weak and... and distinguishing between them, and explaining the authentic and some of the differences.

The Shaykh : In any case, your request seems to require a committee, and perhaps Allah will provide it; because one person cannot fulfill every obligation.

The questioner : ... weak and fabricated hadiths.

The Shaykh : Yes?

Another questioner : There is an explanation of weak and fabricated hadiths for those who ask about them and...

The Shaykh : In old books...

The questioner : But when people handle them as they handle small newspapers, a person can...

The Shaykh : I mean the professor's intention is to facilitate access to them.

The questioner : Facilitating access.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : I can today, for example, take a book, but it is possible that another person cannot afford to acquire this book, whereas...

Another questioner : Correct, like...

The questioner : ... a small one that a person can buy.

Another questioner : ... the Islamic preachers who have knowledge and understanding of this matter explain it to him and clarify it for him.

The Shaykh : Okay, bring it so I can see what you have?
