Practicing on Dhaeef Ahaadith regarding virtuous deeds and actions
Question
Are daif hadeeth virtues of surahs and adhkar 100% guaranteed or one can hope that after doing them Allah will give them and can one just stick to sahih and hasan hadeeth like virtues of surahs baqarah and imran that whoever recites them they will intercede for him and hasan hadeeth like surah mulk.
There are some daif hadeeth like recitation of certain surahs in night like surah Yaseen, Dukhan, Rahman Waqiah and Hadeed, these three surah recitation anytime during day or night on day of qiyamah he will be called from the people of jannatul firdaus. If these daif hadeeth virtues aren't 100% guaranteed, can I stick to daily recitation of one juz and Musabihaat surahs before sleeping along with Surah Mulk and Surah Sajdah.
Answer
Dhaeef Ahaadith in regard to virtuous deeds and actions are accepted according to the Muhadditheen, with certain conditions e.g. the Hadith should not contain any narrator in the chain of narrators who has been declared as a fabricator, or the meaning of the Hadith opposing the authentic Ahaadith, or the Hadith being extremely weak through any of the narrators being declared as a kazzaab narrator (i.e. he is proven to be a liar among people, even though it is not proven that he spoke lies in regard to the Hadith), etc.
You may send us the narration which contains the specific virtue of the Surahs which you wish to find out about, and we will verify it for you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
