Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
Such narrations of which both the predecessors (salaf) and successors (khalaf)—that is, all Muslims—are unaware, while Allah has Himself taken the responsibility of preserving the religion (Qur’an and Sunnah), if they were authentic, how could they have remained hidden from all Muslims? Liars, deceivers, and fraudsters will fabricate them in order to mislead others. Therefore, in order to remain safe from their tribulation, it is necessary to avoid them.
