Weak Hadith Compilation

He who enters a graveyard and recites (Suurah) Yaa Siin, the (torment) is lightened for them on that day and he gets the reward of the number of (people buried) in it (i.e. the graveyard)




Sheikh al-albaani says it is fabricated. Why does he say so? Let's look at the chain





طريق محمد بن أحمد الرياحي


أبي


أيوب بن مدرك


أبي عبيدة


الحسن


أنس بن مالك






Abu 'ubaidah




Ibn Ma'iin said he is majhuul. So, firstly we have an unknown narrator in the chain







Ayyuub bin Mudrik






All of the scholars agree that he is weak and is to be abandoned.

As a matter of fact, Ibn Ma'iin said: He is a liar



So far we have a majhuul in the chain and a person who was a liar.


Now let's look at the next narrator





Ahmad al-RiyaaHai




He is Ahmad bin Yaziid bin diinaar 'Abu al-'awwaam




al-Bayhaqi says: He is majhuul




So, we have a chain in which we have two majhuul (unknown narrators - their state is not known) and a liar.





Why would anyone in their sane mind attribute something like this to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) while hiding these facts except for a person who has a disease in his heart.

It's good if you quote full hadith with source as well.
 
The tears that fall from the eye of a truthful believer, out of the fear of the Lord, and then, roll down his face, however little they are, even of the size of the head of a fly, Allaah will forbid him to the Fire.


This hadith is weak

Let's look at the chain of this weak narration

Abd al-Rahmaan bin 'ibraahiim al-dimishqii and 'ibraahim bin al-Mundhir -> Ibn Abi Fudaik -> Hammaad bin Abi Humaid al-zuraqii -> 'aun bin Abd Allaah bin 'utbah bin Mas'uud -> his father -> Abd Allaah bin Mas'uud (may Allaah be pleased with him)





Hammaad bin Abi Humaid al-Zuraqii


He is munkar al-hadiith


Imaam al-Bayhaqi said: He is weak in the sight of the scholars of hadiith

Abuu Haatim said: He is munkar al-hadiith and weak. He narrates manaakiir from the reliable ones

Ibn Hibbaan said: He used to mix up the chains of narrators and did not understand the matn of the hadiith. When this becomes a lot in his narrations, then he cannot be used as evidence in regards to what he narrates

Imaam Abu Daawud said: He is weak

Imaam al-Tirmidhi said: He is not strong in the sight of the scholars of hadiith


Ahmad bin Hanbal said: His hadiith are munkar (rejected). And Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal said: He is not strong in regards to hadiith

Imaam al-Nasaa'i said: He is not reliable

Ibn Hajar said: He is weak

Whoever recites and memorizes the Qur'aan, making lawful what it makes lawful, and unlawful what it makes lawful, Allaah will admit him to Paradise due to it, and grant him intercession for ten of his family members who were to be consigned to the Fire.


Imaam al-Tirmidhi says: This is a ghariib hadiith and I do not know of it except from this route and its chain of narrators is not authentic.


Why did Imaam al-Tirmidhi grade this hadiith weak?


Let's look at its chain


Ali bin Hujr -> HafD bin Sulaimaan -> Kathiir bin zaadhaan -> 'aaSim bin Damrah -> Ali bin Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him)



HafD bin Sulaimaan


Imaam al-Tirmidhi said: He is weak in regards to hadiith

al-Daarimi said: He is not reliable

Ahmad bin Muhammad al-baghdaadi said: HafD bin Sulaimaan and Abu Bakr bin 'aiyyaash were the most knowledgeable of people when it came to the recitation of 'aaSim. HafD was better in terms of recitation than Abu Bakr but he was a kadhdhaab (liar) while Abu Bakr was suduuq (honest)

Ibn al-Madiinii said: He was weak in hadiith

al-Bukhaari said: They abandoned him

Imaam Muslim said: He is matruuk

al-Nasaa'i said: He is not reliable and his hadiith are not written

Ibn Hajar said: He is abandoned when it comes to hadiith despite him being an Imaam in (Qur'aanic) recitation

He who prays an obligatory prayer has a Dua which will be answered and he who completes the Qur'ān has a Dua which is answered



The hadīth is weak



al-Haythami said:



In it is Abd al-Hamīd bin Sulaimān and he is weak




al-Tabarāni collected it in al-mu'jam al-kabīr




Let's look at the chain of this weak Hadith




الفضل بن هارون البغدادي

إسماعيل بن إبراهيم الترجماني

عبد الحميد ابن سليمان

أبي حازم
العرباض بن سارية






​



Abd al-Hameed bin Sulaimaan


Ibn al-Hajar said: He is weak

al-Hākim said: He is not strong

Ibn Hibbān: He is from those who make mistakes and mixes up the chains

Abu Dawud: He is not reliable

al-Nasā'i: He is weak

al-Dāraqutni: He is weak

Ibn Ma'īn: He is nothing





The hadīth is weak because of him. If you act on this Hadith and make a duā at the end of an obligatory prayer or when you complete the Qur'ān, and your duā is not accepted, don't blame Islām.


Rather, blame yourself for acting on a weak Hadith thinking with certainty that it is true while matter is such that a weak Hadith may or may not be true.
 
Poverty will never touch the one who recites Suurah al-waaqi'ah every night



The hadiith is weak




The chain includes طريق أبي شجاع and أبي طيبة



Both are unknown. They are majhuul. Their state is not known




Ibn Hajar showed that in this hadiith there is اضطراب from three perspectives


al-Daaraqutni said there is inqitaa' in the hadiith.


Ahmad did not consider the text of this hadiith proper


al-Manaawi said: The Hadiith is munkar






Imagine telling someone this hadith. You did not tell them it was so weak. They started to act on it with certainty.

They were sure poverty will never touch them. But poverty touched them. They lose their faith and Imaan all because you did not tell them that this is an extremely weak hadith so it might be true and it might not be true.

Compilation of weak and fabricated hadith and their evil effects in the Ummah by Sheikh al-albaani
Volume 1 Page 458
 
‘O People, there has come to you a great and blessed month, a month in which there is a night that is better than a thousand months. Allaah has made fasting (this month) an obligation and spending its nights in prayer an act of voluntary worship. Whoever draws near to Allaah during this month by doing some good deeds is like one who does an obligatory action at any other time, and the one who does an obligatory action during this month is like one who does seventy obligatory actions at any other times. It is a month whose beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness and its end is ransom from the Fire



The hadiith is very weak
​



The hadiith is present in Sahiih Ibn Khuzaimah


Ibn Khuzaimah said: If this hadiith is authentic

He used the word if. He did this with some of the narrations he included in his Sahiih. He did it when he was unsure if the hadiith was authentic or not.



The Imaam and Haafiz Muhammad bin Muusaa bin Hammaad al-'uqailii declared this hadiith weak.

Abu Haatim said the hadith was munkar (rejected)

Sheikh al-albaani graded it weak



Why did these great scholars of hadiith say it is weak? Let's look at the chain of this weak hadiith propagated among the masses without shame


Abu Abd al-Rahmaan Muhammad bin al-Husain bin Muhammad bin Muusaa al-Sulamii -> Abu 'amr 'ismaa'iil bin Nujaid -> Ja'far bin Muhammad bin sawwaar -> Ali bin Hujr -> Yusuf bin ziyaad -> Hammaam bin Yahyaa -> Ali bin Zaid bin Jud'aan -> Sa'iid bin al-Musaiyyib -> Sulmaan al-Farsii


There is inqitaa in the chain of this narration.

Sa'iid bin al-musayyab did not hear from Salmaan al-Farsii
​


The first problem with the chain is that there is inqitaa.


The second problem is the narrator



Ali bin Zaid bin Jud'aan


Some of the scholars who declared him weak include

  • Ahmad bin Hanbal
  • Ibn Ma'iin
  • al-Nasaa'i
  • Ibn Khuzaimah



al-Bayhaqi said: He is not strong
Ibn Hajar said: He is weak. He has a bad memory
Ibn al-Madiinii: He is weak
Ibn Khuzaimah said: He is not used as evidence because of his poor memory



So, for starters there is inqitaa in the chain. That means a narrator is missing. This alone makes the hadith weak. All the scholars of hadiith unanimously agree that a hadith which has inqitaa is weak.


Then, we have a narrator who is very weak because of his poor memory.

The hadiith is very weak. It is not fit to be mentioned to people.

Now you know why the great scholars of hadith such as Sheikh al-albaani, Abu Haatim, and al-'uqailii declared this hadith weak and munkar.


​

May Allaah guide us to the way of the Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) who were very cautious in what they narrated.

Broi this particular wording is present via the chain mentioned. The last part of the above hadiith is mentioned in another hadith which will be added to the list of weak hadiith in the next post.
 
The first portion of the month of Ramadaan is Mercy, the middle portion is maghfirah, and the last portion is ransom from the Fire


Munkar (rejected)


Let's see the great scholars of hadiith who graded this weak


The great scholar of hadiith al-'uqailii
Ibn 'addi
al-khatiib al-baghdadi
Sheikh al-albaani


Why did these great scholars of hadiith declare this hadiith weak.


Let's look at the chain


سلام بن سوار

مسلمة بن الصلت

الزهري

أبو سلمة

أبو هريرة



Sallaam bin Sulaimaan bin sawwaar

Ibn 'addi said: He is rejected when it comes to hadiith in my opinion



So, we have a narrator who is rejected when it comes to hadiith. Now let's look at the next narrator who weakens this hadiith


Maslamah bin al-Salt

Abu Haatim says: He is rejected in regards to hadiith



This hadiith has two narrators who are rejected. Not one but two narrators.

Hence, Sheikh al-albaani called it munkar.


Now you know why the great scholars of hadiith rejected this hadiith.


Be careful when you tell people a hadiith. Make sure it is authentic.

Abd al-Rahmaan al-muslii


He is weak

No one from the scholars said he was reliable. No one.

Based on this, the scholars of hadiith said the hadiith is weak


Among these scholars was Sheikh al-albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him).
 
Allah's Messenger would get up during his Salat on the tips of his feet.

Ibn Hajar says:

There is not even one route for this hadiith which is free from an objectionable defect.

al-talkhiiS al-habiir
Volume 3 Pages 93 and 94


al-Daaraqutni said:

It has been narrated from 20 routes all of which are weak and nothing of them is established.


al-Baihaqii said:

This text is famous among people. And it does not have a single authentic chain.


al-Nawawi said:

All of the huffaaz agree that the hadiith is weak even though it has many routes.


 
‘Whoever has some need from Allah or from any of His creation, let him perform ablution and pray two Rak’ah, then let him say: La ilaha illallahul-Halimul- Karim. Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-‘arshil-‘azim. Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-‘Alamin. Allahumma inni as’aluka mujibat rahmatika, wa ‘aza’ima maghfiratika, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, was-salamata min kulli ithmnin. As’aluka alla tada’a li dhanban illa ghafartahu, wa la hamman illa farrajtahu, wa la hajah hiya laka ridan illa qadaitaha li (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous. Glory is to Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise is to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the means of Your mercy and forgiveness, the benefit of every good deed and safety from all sins. I ask You not to leave any sin of mine but You forgive it, or any distress but You relieve it, or any need that is pleasing to You but You meet it). Then he should ask Allah for whatever he wants in this world and in the Hereafter, for it is decreed.”

The above Hadith is used to exhort people to pray the "Salaatul Haajah"

everything in the book Usual al kafi is beyone weak and rejected

- - - Updated - - -


Narrated 'Ali: The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."
 
In order to motivate our youngsters, it is often reported :
Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
The pious offspring who casts a single look of affection at his parents receives a reward from Allah equal to the reward of an accepted Hajj.” The people enquired: “O Prophet of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), if someone casts a hundred such glances of love and affection at his parents, what then?” The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Yes, indeed, even if one does so a hundred times a day, he will get a hundred fold reward. Allah is far greater than you imagine and is completely free from petty narrow mindedness. [Sahih Muslim]
Click to expand...

Firstly, this narration is NOT in Sahih Muslim. This is yet another misattribution.
Secondly, it has been narrated through three different chains of narrators:
  1. It is found in Al-Bayhaqi’s Shu’ab al-iman and contains a narrator by the name of Nahshal Ibn Sa’eed who was accused of lying by Ishaq bin Rahaway and Abu Dawud at-Tayalisi.Ad-Dhahabi graded it munkar (rejected) in his ‘Siyar a’lam an-nubala”’ (19/208) and Al-Albani graded it as mawdu’ in his ‘Silsilat ad-Da’eefah’, 3298.
  2. Also found in Siyaru A’lam-in-Nubala of Al-Dhahabi and its chain contains a certain Muhammad Ibn Humaid whom experts have opined that “he is unreliable / he has many unacceptable narrations / I have not seen anybody more artful in lying than Ibn Humaid”
  3. A third narration is found in Ibn Abid Dunya’s Makarim-ul-Akllaq, but its narrators are also unreliable.

Therefore, all these narrations are extremely weak.
In fact, Allamah Suyuti and Allamah Ibn ‘Arraq have classified it as a fabrication, as both have narrated the Hadith in their books on fabricated Ahadith; Az-Ziyadat ‘Ala al-Mawdhu’at and Tanzihu-sh-Shari’ah respectively.

Thus there’s no way this report is reliable, this hadith is not ‘just weak’, it’s an extremely weak hadith, thus unquotable.
Obeying parents is of course not the matter here, one must respect parents, I am only highlighting the fact this hadith is not in sahih Muslim and in fact cannot be quoted due to its high weakness.

As-Salaam alaikum,
We need to tread softly on this matter of so-called weak hadith...weak traditions. More often than not, such ahadith should be acceptable in our everyday life as we apply the Sunnah, especially where such ahadith encourage the practice of pious works or those that convey an indisputable spiritual teaching in Islam.

Some of our 'Ulama hold that one of the specific traits of an heir to the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is to apply Hadith, in as a broad a way as possible, whether they be authentic or weak, by regularly practicing the former, and, even if only once, the latter, taking into account all the nuances brought out by the different versions, without attaching himself solely to the exterior criteria of the validity of the Hadith, except obviously when it is a matter of licit or illicit.

The imitation of the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, in conformity to the Sunnah leads in effect, according to the Holy Qur'an, to Divine Love: "Say: If truly you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you" (3:31)
