Muslim

And some of those who claim affiliation with hadith from among the people of our time have spoken regarding the authentication and validation of chains of transmission, with a statement: If we were to entirely refrain from narrating it and mentioning its corruption, that would be a firm opinion and a correct approach, since turning away from a rejected statement is more appropriate, in order to cause it to die out and to obscure the mention of its proponent, and it is more fitting that this not serve as a notification to the ignorant about it. However, when we feared the evil consequences and the deception of the ignorant by newly invented matters, and their hastening to believe the errors of those who err, and the statements that are rejected by the scholars, we saw that exposing the corruption of his statement and refuting his claim to the extent appropriate for it is more beneficial for the people and more praiseworthy in the end, if Allah wills.
