The books that compiled weak and fabricated hadiths are numerous, among them: "Al-Mawdu'at" and "Al-Ilal Al-Mutanahiyah" by Ibn Al-Jawzi, "Tanzeeh Al-Shari'ah Al-Marfu'ah" by Ibn Iraq, "Al-La'ali Al-Masnu'ah" by Al-Suyuti, "Al-Fawa'id Al-Majmu'ah" by Al-Shawkani, "Al-Asrar Al-Marfu'ah" by Mulla Ali Al-Qari, and "Silsilat Al-Ahadith Al-Da'ifah wal-Mawdu'ah" by Al-Albani. These books and other references can be relied upon, keeping in mind that this field is difficult and even great scholars may fall into misconceptions within it.
