What is the religious ruling if someone sends me an Islamic file containing words about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and I am asked to copy it into another file, and if I find incorrect information or a weak hadith and I copy it while I am unaware, and I ask the sender of the file if he is sure of the authenticity of the hadiths, and he writes to me, 'Yes, I am sure of the authenticity of the hadiths mentioned,' then who is responsible if I transmit incorrect information or a weak hadith?

If the sender of the file is trustworthy and has affirmed its freedom from falsehood regarding the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, then there is no sin upon the one who transmits it. The responsibility lies with the sender. The mentioned website is Islamic, and we hope it is reliable.
