Al-Tirmidhi's statement: a good, authentic, and rare hadith?
The scholars have mentioned that it may be that he included it via a good chain and an authentic chain, or that it is in a state of doubt, and its meaning is: good or authentic.
Q: Some scholars say: If al-Tirmidhi says: a good hadith and is silent; then the predominant view is that it is weak, so what is the correctness of that?
A: No, his terminology (may Allah have mercy on him) is subject to consideration, al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar pointed this out in his commentary on al-Nukhba.
