Is the Hadith: "They are your Paradise and your Hellfire" weak, and what is the ruling on narrating it without disclosing its weakness, if it is weak?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned Hadith is weak. Some scholars have permitted the narration of a weak Hadith concerning virtuous deeds, provided certain conditions are met: that it be narrated using a passive voice (such as: "it was narrated" or "it reached us"); that it pertains to virtuous deeds and the like, not to matters of creed or rulings; that its weakness is not severe; that it falls under a generally accepted principle; and that when acting upon it, one does not believe in its definitive authenticity, but rather exercises caution.
