Mawdū’ Ahādīth in Hadīth Kitābs.
Question
Are there any mawdū‘ ahadiths in Sihah e Sitta ? and especially in Sunan Ibn e Maja ?
And are there mawdū‘ ahadiths in kanz ul ummal and musnad ahmad bin hambal ?
and if present , in which book it is stated ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The issue of Sahīh (authentic), Hasan (reliable), Daeef (weak) and Mawdū’ (fabricated) Ahādīth is an academic one and may not be understood by those who are not versed in the sciences of Sharī’ah especially those of Hadīth. These books are meant for ‘Ulamā who have the knowledge to differentiate between such narrations. If a non-‘Ālim is reading a Hadīth book and he comes across such narrations, or he has heard a particular narration and needs clarification on its authenticity, he should refer to an ‘Ālim having expertise in Hadith for confirmation.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
