How can one understand the method of Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in "Al-Talkhis Al-Habir" and "Fath Al-Bari," especially when he mentions the ruling of a Hadith or different opinions without explicit preferring?

It is customary for many authors to present the most preponderant opinion first. This is evident in the actions of Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Fath [al-Bari], where he prefaces the opinions with what he considers preponderant, and sometimes explicitly states the preference. As for Al-Talkhis [al-Habir], he presents the statements of the Hadith scholars, whether authenticating or weakening them, and sometimes remains silent, content with a ruling from a predecessor. Al-Hafiz does not have a stated, explicit convention regarding this.
