Da'eef (Weak) is a type of Hadith that has a narrator who either doesn't
have a strong memory or isn't virtuous. Weak (Daeef) Hadith is only
reliable in excellence, not in rulings (permissibility or prohibition
will not be proven for it. Yes, good deeds or the prominence of an
individual can be).<br>
<br>
The result of this is that a weak Hadith is not a lie, false or
fabricated (contrary to the propaganda of Ghair-Muqallids). The
Muhadditheen have kept its rank less than Sahih and Hasan merely for
caution.<br>
<br>
If a weak Hadith becomes a Hasan Hadith for some reason, it also becomes
completely credible, with both excellence and rulings able to be proven
from it.<br>

<font size="4"><br>
A weak narration sometimes becomes Hasan in the following situations:<br>
<br>
1. If it is reported by two or more chains of narration, even if all are
weak. In other words, if a Hadith is reported through a few weak
narrations, it becomes Hasan.<span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)"> [Mirqaat,
Mauzuaat-e-Kabeer, Shaami, Introduction to Mishkaat by Shaikh Abdul-Haqq
Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho Risaala Usool-e-Hadith by Imam Jurjaani Radi
ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho]</span><br>
<br>
2. The practice of true Ulama also causes a weak Hadith to become Hasan.
Thus, if the Learned Ulama-e-Deen begin to bring practice on a weak
Hadith, it doesn't remain so, but becomes Hasan. It was for is reason
that Imam Tirmiidhi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho once said, As this Hadith is
Ghareeb or weak (Daeef), but the learned practice It."<br>
<br>
<i style="color:rgb(0,0,153)">This saying of Imam Tirmidhi Radi ALLAHu
Ta'ala Anho doesn't mean that this Hadith is weak and unworthy of
practice and that the Ulama of Islam have practiced on it out of
stupidity or have become astray. No. It means that the Hadith is weak in
regards to its narrators, but through the practice of Ulama, it has been
strengthened.</i><br>
<br>
3. Through the experience of the Ulama and inspiration (Kashf) of the
Friends of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala (Auliya), a weak Hadith can become
strong. Shaikh Muhayuddin Ibn Arabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho knew of a
Hadith,<br>
<br>
'The person who recites the Kalima Tayyiba 70,000 times attains
forgiveness."<br>
<br>
Once, a young map said to him,<br>
<br>
"I see my deceased mother in Jahannam."<br>
<br>
At that point, Shaikh Ibn Arabi had already recited the Kaliina Tayyiba
70,000 times, so (in his heart) he passed on the recital of the Kalima
Sharif to that young man's mother. The man smiled and said,<br>
<br>
"I now see my mother in Jannat."<br>
<br>
Shaikh Ibn Arabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho later said,<br>
<br>
"I understood this Hadith's correctness (Sehat) through the inspiration
(Kashf) of this Wali." (Sahih-ul­Bihaari)<br>
<br>
4. Qaasim Nanautwi has recorded this incident regarding Hadrat Junaid
Baghdadi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in his book, Tahzeer-un-Naas.<br>
&nbsp;</font></div>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div>
<img alt="" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/24908_339852370333_672380333_4212575_3923307_n.jpg"
height="482" width="720"></div>
</div>
<div>
<font size="4"><br>
5. The weakness of the chains of narration (Isnaad) doesn't necessitate
the text of the Hadith to also be weak. Thus, it is possible for a
single Hadith to be weak in one chain, Hasan in a second and Sahih in a
third. This is why Imam Tirmidhi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho once said
regarding a single Hadith, "This Hadith is Hasan, Sahih and Ghareeb as
well"<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153)">This saying of the Imam can only
mean that this Hadith is reported through a few chains: Hasan in the
first, Sahih in the second and Ghareeb in the third.</span><br>
</i><br>
6. Also, the weakness doesn't negatively affect the Muhaddith or
Mujtahid of former times. Therefore, if Imam Bukhari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala
Anho or Imam Tirmidhi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho attained a Hadith as weak
(Daeef) due to a weak narrator being included in it, it is possible for
Imam Abu Hanifa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho to have attained that same
Hadith while it had a Sahih chain of narrators (i.e. in his time, that
weak narrator was not a part of the chain of Hadith). Thus, it wouldn't
be easy for a Wahabi to prove that a Hadith was attained by Imam Abu
Hanifa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho as weak.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153)">As a result, our Sunni Ulama should
bear this in mind. When any Wahabi calls a Hadith "weak", stop him,
request its reason of weakness and then clarify whether this was before
or after Imam Abu Hanifa's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho time. In sha Allah,
this will silence them. Imam Abu Hanifa's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho time
is extremely close to the Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam's. At
that time, very few Ahadith were weak. Imam Sahib was even a Taba'ee
(one who has met at least one Companion of Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi
wa Sallam).</span><br>
</i><br>
7. Jarah-e-Mubham (ambiguous impugnment) is not worthy of acceptance. In
other words, the mere statement of one who contests a Hadith, especially
Ibn Jauzi, etc. (saying "This Hadith is weak" or "That narrator is
weak") is not credible unless they explain the reason of the Hadith's
weakness or narrator's defect, because Imams differ in the reasons of
weakness. Some deem something to be a defect while others do not.
Tadlees, lrsaal, immaturity, being busy in Fiqh, etc. have been accepted
as defects for a narrator. However, according to the Hanafi muzhab, none
of these reasons qualify. <span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)">[Noor al-Anwaar.

<br>
8. When there is a clash between impingement (Jarh) and placing in order
(Tadeel), Tadeel will be accepted, not Jarh. Meaning, if a Muhaddith
(Commentator on Hadith) has called a certain narrator weak while another
has called him strong (in a case where his transgression is seen in some
events yet he is still labeled by some as pious and virtuous), he will
be accepted as pious and his narration will not be considered weak,
because piety is the original state ofa Mu'min.<br>
&nbsp;</font></div>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div>
<img alt="" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/24908_339853600333_672380333_4212580_176298_n.jpg"
height="482" width="720"></div>
</div>
<div>
<font size="4"><br>
9. It should be remembered that if a Hadith is not sound (Sahih), it
doesn't mean it's weak. Thus, if a Muhaddith says about a certain Hadith,
"It's not Sahih", it doesn't necessarily mean that the Hadith is
considered weak (there is a possibility of it being classified as Hasan).
There are several categories of Hadith between sound and weak (Sahih &amp;
Daeef).<br>
<br>
10. The basis of Sahih Ahadith is not Muslim, Bukhari or the rest of the
Sihah Sita (Six Famous Books of Hadith).<br>
<br>
<i style="color:rgb(0,0,153)"><u>The latter's namesake doesn't mean
that all the Ahadith in these books are Sahih whilst every narration in
other books aren't.</u></i><br>
<br>
Rather, it means that there are many Sahih Ahadith in them. Our Imaan is
on the Prophet, not on Bukhari, Muslim, etc. Wherever the Hadith of the
Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam is found, it is a treasure for
us irrespective of whether it is in Bukhari Sharif or not.<br>
<br>
It's really surprising that Ghair-Muqallids label the Taqleed of Imam
Abu Hanifa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and other Imams as polytheism (shirk)
yet blindly bring Imaan on Bukhari and Muslim as if they were making
Taqleed of these books.<br>
<br>
11. The accepting of a Hadith without any query by a Faqih Aalim is
proof of it being strong. Thus, if any Mujtahid, Faqih Aalim accepts a
weak Hadith, it becomes strong. Imam Waliuddin Tabrezi Radi ALLAHu
Ta'ala Anho the compiler of Mishkaat, states, "When I ascribe the Hadith
to these Commentators of Hadith (Muhadditheen), it is as if I have
attributed it to the Holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam himself."
(Introduction to Mishkaat)<br>
<br>
From these principles, you have understood that none of the Ahadith
which Imam Abu Hanifa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho has used as proof can be
weak because the Ummah acts upon them and the Ulama and Fuqahaa have
also accepted them. Every Hadith has been reported by several chains of
narration.<br>
&nbsp;</font></div>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div>
<img alt="" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/24908_339855070333_672380333_4212584_3726702_n.jpg"
height="482" width="720"></div>
</div>
<div>
<font size="4"><br>
12. If a conflict between the Hadith and Quran is seen the Hadith should
be interpreted and given a meaning that causes conformity between the
two and the clash to be lifted. Similarly, if the Ahadith are seemingly
conflicting, it is necessary to give a meaning to them so that the
conflict is erased and practice can be made on all. Examples of this
follow,<br>
<br>
AllahSubHanuhu wa Ta'ala states, "Read the amount of the Quran which is
easy in namaaz," However, a Hadith states, "The Salaah of he who doesn't
read Surah Fatiha in it is not done."<br>
<br>
Visibly, the Hadith contradicts the ayat. For this reason, the Hadith's
meaning is taken that without reciting Surah Fatiha, Salaah is not
perfected. Qirat (recitation) is absolutely Fardh in namaaz and reciting
Surah Fatiha is Waajib. The conflict is lifted and both the Quran and
Hadith have now been acted upon.<br>
<br>
The above Hadith also seems to go against the following ayat, "When the
Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and remain silent."
<span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)">[Surah Aaraal, Verse 204]</span><br>
<br>
Here, the Quran orders complete silence, while the muqtadi (person
following the Imam in namaaz) is told to recite Surah Fatiha. Thus, we
shall have to conclude that the Quran's command is absolute while the
order of the Hadith concerns someone reading namaaz alone or is
addressing the Imam who is leading the Salaah. The recitation of the
Imam is sufficient for the muqtadi. This principle is very important.<br>
<br>
Also, if any Hadith clashes with a Quranic verse or a stronger Hadith
than itself and there is no way of conformity occurring, the Quranic
ayat or superior Hadith will be given preference and the Hadith will be
regarded as unacceptable for practice (being termed as either
inapplicable (mansookh) or only for the uniqueness of the Holy Prophet
Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam). There are examples of this.<br>
<br>
13. A Hadith being proven to have weak narration is Qiyaamat for Ghair
Muqallids because the basis of their muzhab is these narrations alone.
If a narration becomes weak, their ruling is revoked. However, this does
not affect Hanafis, etc. because our proofs are not these narrations but
only the verdict of the Imam (the Hadith corroborates his verdict). Yes,
the proof of the Imam is Quran and Hadith, but when Imam Abu Hanifa Radi
ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho attained the Ahadith he issued verdicts from. They
were all sound (i.e. their chains of narration were not those which are
found in Bukhari and Muslim today).<br>
<br>
Likewise, if the police throw a criminal in jail, their proof is the
judgement of the judge, not the articles of the government's law. The
articles are the proof of the judge or ruler. This is important to
remember. Taqleed (i.e. following the Four Imams) is Allah's SubHanuhu
wa Ta'ala mercy and Ghair­Muqallids (i.e. those who reject it) are His
punishment.<br>
