What is the difference between a weak hadith and a denounced narration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, with your permission, what is the difference between "weak except for truthfulness" and "denounced except for truthfulness" in a hadith?

The Shaykh : Who said "weak except for truthfulness"?

The questioner : I am just asking about the two terms, meaning, is there a difference?

The Shaykh : "Weak" is broader than "denounced," and "denounced" is more specific than "weak." That is to say, if it is said of a hadith that it is weak, this does not preclude its meaning from being acceptable. But if it is said of a hadith that it is denounced, the one who says it is denounced means that its meaning is not acceptable.
The student : ... from some of our brothers on your tongue.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : They asked Shaykh AliAl-Halabi : And Shaykh Ali saidAl-Halabi : It is not possible for Al-Albani to say this, ... and you denied this statement, so the matter we asked you about yesterday, I was the one who asked you ... a quarter exactly.

The Shaykh : We did not differ, now what is your question?
The student : What do you think of the one who says, "The consensus of the Ummah is under my feet"?

The Shaykh : Now, what is your question that you are in a hurry about?
The student : This has become a problem now; most of the young people are making a big deal out of this matter.

The Shaykh : All right, if you had postponed this question until the time for questions, what would have happened to the world?
The student : I do not have a phone; I am speaking from the post office.

The Shaykh : And yesterday, where were you speaking from?
The student : From our friend Abu Khatir's place.

The Shaykh : Yes, you are speaking from your friend's place just as you did yesterday.
The student : There is no room for it.

The Shaykh : And do not exaggerate matters and say there is a standing problem and so on. Ask during the time for questions, and the matter is done.
