To what extent are the common hadiths mentioned authentic, and are there other widespread hadiths considered fabricated?
The following hadiths are fabricated or not authentic:
1. "He who performs Hajj to the House but does not visit me, has shunned me": Fabricated. 2. "The best of names are those that begin with 'Abd' (servant of) or 'Hamd' (praise of)": Fabricated. 3. "The day you fast is the day you sacrifice": Has no basis. 4. "Indeed, Allah restrains with the ruler what He does not restrain with the Qur'an": This is a saying of Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, and not a Marfu' (attributed to the Prophet). 5. "The best of righteousness is that which is hastened": Not authentic. 6. "We are a people who do not eat until we are hungry": Not found with an attested chain of narration in hadith books. 7. "The best of matters are their middles": Its chain of narration is disconnected, or problematic (mu'dal), or unknown (majhul). It was narrated as a saying of Mutarrif ibn Abdullah and Yazid ibn Murrah al-Ju'fi.
For more fabricated hadiths, one can refer to books such as: Al-Mawdu'at al-Kubra by Mulla Ali al-Qari, Al-Fawa'id al-Majmu'ah by Al-Shawkani, Al-Ilal al-Mutanahiyah by Ibn al-Jawzi, and Al-Albani's books like Irwa' al-Ghalil and Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah.
