The answer

To refute the claim that there are five thousand fabricated hadiths in the Nine Books, the author explained that Sheikh Al-Albani distinguished the fabricated hadiths in the four Sunans, numbering 66 hadiths. As for the two Sahihs, they are the most authentic books after the Quran, and they contain no fabricated hadiths, by scholarly consensus. Regarding Musnad Imam Ahmad, Ibn Hajar, in his book "Al-Qawl Al-Musaddad," defended it, stating that the hadiths alleged to be fabricated within it do not exceed twenty-odd hadiths, and scholars have rejected the ruling of fabrication for many of them. The author then questioned how the remaining alleged fabricated hadiths could be in Muwatta Malik and Sunan Al-Darimi, which are among the most authentic books, asserting that the claim of five thousand fabricated hadiths is a lie and a falsehood that does not align with scientific facts.
