What are the hadiths that are considered with corroborating narrations and those that are not considered with corroborating narrations?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, when we read in the book of the principles of hadith and terminology, they mention to you the ranks of the critique and vindication of narrators. Some say that his hadith is written down and considered, and some say that his hadith is not written down and not relied upon as evidence. So which of these is it? How do we distinguish between the hadith that is authentic, the hadith that is good, the hadith that is considered with corroborating narrations, and the hadith that is not considered with corroborating narrations, meaning the supporting chains?

The Shaykh : Read the introduction of the Imam al-Dhahabi in al-Mizan, and you will get the answer to this question. But in general, the one about whom it is said that his hadith is written down is the one who is cited as a witness but not relied upon as evidence, and his hadith is strengthened by others, because he was not severely weak. Every phrase has its own implication. So if you have a problem with some of the phrases or you stop from understanding, specify it from your side. As for the phrase "his hadith is written down," I have answered you. What do you have?
