Does the book "Al-Arba'een An-Nawawiyyah" contain weak hadiths, and can they be pointed out?
Ibn Rajab and Al-Albani declared the hadith "None of you believes until his inclination is in accordance with what I have brought" weak. However, it is supported by a hadith from Abu Hurayrah with the same wording, whose narrators Ibn Hajar authenticated. Similarly, Ibn Rajab and Al-Albani declared the hadith "Indeed, Allah has enjoined duties, so do not neglect them" weak. However, As-Sam'ani deemed it good (hasan), and it has a corroborating narration (shahid) from Al-Bazzar. It was also narrated with a similar meaning as a mawquf report (stopped at a Companion) with a sound chain from Ibn 'Abbas, and it has another corroborating narration from Al-Tabarani from Abu Al-Darda. These corroborating narrations support Al-Nawawi's grading of both hadiths as good (hasan).
