The Ruling on Authenticating Weak Hadiths and Interpreting Qur'anic Verses in Light of Modern Events

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Your Eminence! Some weak hadiths are reported in the field of prophetic medicine, and then in this era, the truth of this hadith is established, and what is mentioned in this hadith is proven to be correct. This hadith could not possibly be the words of a human being.Meaning: What is mentioned in this hadith could not be said by a person except through experience and knowledge. It is either a revelation from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), or it is something else.Question: O Shaykh! If a weak hadith is proven to be in agreement with scientific discoveries in this era, does this make the hadith authentic, or not?
A weak hadith, if it does not contradict an authentic hadith and reality testifies to its correctness,It is said: is weak in its chain but correct in its text, but on the condition that it is supported by evidence; because some people may think that this hadith or this verse indicates this meaning, when in fact it does not.Like the saying of some of them regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:

O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah].

يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْأِنْسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطَارِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَانْفُذُوا لا تَنْفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَانٍ

[Ar-Rahman:33] This verse indicates that we can reach the moon;Because he said:

You will not pass except by authority [from Allah].

لا تَنْفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَانٍ

[Ar-Rahman:33] and "sultan" means knowledge. If the verse is interpreted with this meaning, it is forbidden; because it is a distortion of the Qur'an. For this verse, on the Day of Resurrection, as indicated by the context of the surah from its beginning to its end,Then he said:

O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth

يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْأِنْسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطَارِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ

[Ar-Rahman:33] did they penetrate the regions of the heavens?Then he said:

There will be sent upon you a flame of fire

يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُمَا شُوَاظٌ مِنْ نَارٍ

[Ar-Rahman:35] was a blast of fire sent down upon them? So the point is that some people may encounter a new thing where there is a weak hadith, so they authenticate the hadith because of this reality. Then, upon reflection, this authentication is incorrect; because the hadith does not indicate it, but they assumed that it does.
