A student informs Shaykh Al-Albani of his discovery of a statement by Ibn Hibban regarding the use of weak hadiths in the virtues of actions.

The Shaykh : Do you remember where you mentioned it?
The student : By Allah, my Shaykh, I searched for it today.

The Shaykh : Hmm.
The student : And I did not find it.

The Shaykh : I did not find it.
The student : Yes, by Allah, I found a statement, meaning for you, as a pleasant thing, that does not contain this phrase, naturally.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The student : A statement from which you can infer that Ibn Hibban holds that a weak hadith is not to be heeded in this sense.

The Shaykh : Yes, and where did you mention this?
The student : In *Al-Silsilah al-Da'ifah*, Volume 2, wait, page... here, the book is in my hand, page one hundred and nine, I think... yes, no, this is another place with the same wording, and it is also beautiful, if it is indeed one hundred and nine, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : It is nice wording, I mean.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : Page three, my professor, *Al-Silsilah al-Da'ifah*, Volume 2, page three.

The Shaykh : Page three.
The student : Ah, he says on the same page that Ibn Hibban says, "Because what is narrated by a weak narrator and what is not narrated are the same in ruling."

The Shaykh: Excuse me.
The student : And you commented, saying, "And in his final explanation."

The Shaykh : Excuse me, page three, in which hadith?
The student : number five hundred and four.

The Shaykh: All right.
The student : Six lines in hadith number five hundred and four.

The Shaykh : Yes, very well, may Allah reward you with good.
The student : May Allah bless you, my Shaykh, on page one hundred and nine there is also pleasant wording.

The Shaykh : Very well, you found it.
The student : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The student : Also, if Allah wills, I will continue to follow up so that I may find the statement of al-Shawkani, because I followed it up this morning and did not find it in my mind.

The Shaykh : Thank you, and may Allah reward you with good.
The student : Likewise, my Shaykh, our brother Mu'taz, the Syrian brother who was with us that day and visited you at night.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The student : And his companion and his father.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The student : ... they send their greetings to you.

The Shaykh : Greet all those who are with you.
The student : May Allah preserve you, O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The student : Do you advise us on anything else?

The Shaykh : May you be safe and may Allah reward you with good.
The student : My Shaykh, one of the brothers called me just now.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : He informed me of news that I wanted to verify, and it is good news, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The student : That Shaykh 'Ayd is coming next week.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The student : Have you heard anything of this?

The Shaykh : No, but I was informed that the visa was obtained.
The student : What Allah willed, then praise be to Allah, this means...

The Shaykh : This leads to that.
The student : By Allah, this is true, this brother seems to be coming from there.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : He says he is coming next week.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The student : So we ask Allah to gather us with him in goodness.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills, and may Allah reward you with good.
The student : May Allah preserve you, O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : ...

The questioner : ... new ... in a printing.

The Shaykh : ... easily, bring it here ... he said it is not permissible to mention a weak hadith without explaining its weakness.
