What is the reason for judging some Sufi hadiths to be fabricated or weak, and what are the details of that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We are keen to explain the reason for authenticating or weakening a hadith if it is central to the issue and a ruling is based on it. If we mention the authenticity or weakness of a hadith without elaboration, we refer to trustworthy scholars and specify the source. Sometimes, we shorten the ruling on a hadith to avoid lengthy explanations, considering non-specialists. You can send us the texts of the hadiths you wish to verify as authentic or weak. The hadiths in question number (8303) have no basis or chain of narration and are not found in the books of Sunnah. There are no such things as "Sufi hadiths"; rather, they are weak or fabricated hadiths that some Sufis exploit to justify their innovations.
