Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... they narrate hadiths that are weak ...?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. Sometimes they narrate this and leave the matter to the one who reads the book, for example, or the listener. Ibn Jarir, the imam of the exegetes, sometimes mentions details from some of the Salaf based on weak narrations. The scholars said: this is because he relies on the reader, or because he intended to clarify them but then passed away. As for narrating weak hadiths, they do that either because they have corroborating narrations that support them in their view, or because they do so and indicate the weakness, or for one of the reasons. Yes.
