What is the authenticity of the hadith (Do not fast on the day of Saturday . . ) and how is the claim of its disruption or fabrication refuted?

The Shaykh : As for the claim that the hadith is a lie, we have stated that it refutes what was said about the hadith having three routes, each of which is valid in itself. How can it be said that a hadith like this is a lie?! The only thing that happened is a shortcoming on the part of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (may Allah have mercy on him), who described this hadith in his book al-Talkhis al-Habir as having a disrupted chain of narration. Here is a point related to the science of hadith terminology: a disrupted hadith is, of course, a known concept, and its definition in terminology is clear. However, not every disruption in a hadith is considered a defect that weakens the hadith, because the disruption may be relative, and this is the reality here. We said this hadith has three routes, three chains of narration. In one of these chains, the disruption mentioned by Ibn Hajar actually occurred. If we concede that it is a significant disruption that weakens the chain, we would leave it, and we would still have two valid chains with no blemish on them. Moreover, not every disruption affects the validity of the hadith, because it may be a relative disruption. That is, the hadith in the chain that made it disrupted is disrupted regarding a specific narrator, and different versions come from this specific narrator, and the researcher is indeed perplexed about preferring one version over another. But what the routes revolved around and became disrupted upon was supported by another narrator without any disruption. Therefore, this is a relative disruption that does not affect the text of the hadith, and this is what the scholars of hadith terminology have explicitly stated: not every disruption affects the validity of the hadith. The significant disruption is one where there is no version that helps prefer one version over another. If a version comes that helps prefer one of the many versions of the disruption, and this version is studied objectively and it is found to be a valid chain without looking at the other versions, then this disruption is a weak disruption with no effect. This is the summary of what can be said about a hadith like this. Please, has the time for prayer come?
The questioner : No, not yet, not yet.
Another questioner : Five minutes remain.
The Shaykh : Has it passed?
The questioner : Five minutes remain.
The Shaykh : It remains, please proceed.

The questioner : I am telling them that the hadith of Juwayriyah abrogates this hadith.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!
The questioner : No, not yet, not yet.
Another questioner : Five minutes remain.
The Shaykh : Has it passed?
