They explain one of the most important concepts of our Diin.
The chain of narrators.
The Qur'anic recitations reached us through chains. The hadiith reached us through chains.
If it had not been for the chain anyone would have said whatever they willed. You see people do this today in regards to the hadith. They just keep attributing things to the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam). How shameless.
Oops I liked the immediate above post by mistake. I see now that it probably is another allusion to condemnation of weak hadiths.
Weak hadiths are not an attribution to Prophet (saw) as they're acknowledged as being weak; this means there is no definite attribution
For starters you cannot read. Since you have acknowledged that, I cannot hold you responsible for something you admit to not being able to do.
Second, a fabrication is an attribution.
A weak hadiith is a possible mistake as it is not known if it is in fact true or not. It becomes shameless when you start attributing it to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) with certainty like your beloved preachers do because now you give people the illusion that he (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said it for sure.
Learn Mustalah al-Hadiith first. Then, come and talk.
