Are there weak narrations in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

To learn about the status of the two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) and the criticisms leveled against some of their hadiths, as well as the statements of scholars regarding them, please refer to fatwas number: 54598 and 106907. The author of the article "Da'if al-Bukhari wa Muslim" (the Sunni Muhammad al-Amin) has undertaken a great and difficult task by compiling the weak hadiths in the two Sahihs. This is something that even the great scholars, who recognized the status of the two Sahihs, refrained from doing. By this action, he has entered a labyrinth and opened a door for himself where the harm is closer than the benefit. It is sufficient as a refutation against him that he himself admitted that no one before him throughout history had undertaken such a work.
