The Obligation of Verifying What Is Attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Terms of Hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There are some hadiths and sayings in which a person doubts their truthfulness. What is your statement to us regarding that? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
A person should verify the good supplications and the prescribed dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that came in the Sunnah, consult the reliable books of the scholars of knowledge, and ask the scholars of knowledge about whatever is difficult for him in that matter. He should not be a follower who accepts whatever comes his way. No, he should ask the scholars of knowledge. If he does not have knowledge, he should ask the scholars of knowledge in his country who are known for their good creed, known for their knowledge and virtue. He should ask them, or write to them if they are far away. He writes and asks. And if he is among the scholars of knowledge, he should reflect upon the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah, and he will find in them—by the praise of Allah—much good, in the form of good supplications and prescribed dhikr. Yes.
