Weak Ahadith / Hadith
There are many Muslim individuals and sects who are unfortunately using quotations of weak Ahadith to support an argument or a position.
There are some sincere ignorant Muslims who choose unverified Hadith, feel proud, and confident that the Prophet (PBUH) has supported their point of view.
There are also sincere Muslims who refrain from practicing weak narrations once they are informed of the consequence of attributing a lie to the Prophet (PBUH).
The Ahadith are classified as Sahih (Authentic), Hasan (Acceptable), Da’if (Weak) and Mawdoo’ (Fabricated). Fabricated tradition (Mawdoo') is not considered to be a Hadith.
Nowadays a common Muslim is ignorant of the Tradition; hence, s/he accepts as true the claim by any religious remarks from individuals that the Tradition is actually taught by the Messenger of Allah without any assurance. Even the religious Scholars, for the most, do not read these compilations personally.
Hence, they rely on something that they have no knowledge actually. Their initial response to a questionable piece of Tradition is silence or surprise due to ignorance. Then, even after confirming it themselves, they still keep quiet or refuse to correct their stance. Such stiffness cannot be tolerated logically and rationally.
In Islamic law only the (Sahih) and (Hasan) Ahadith are used in deriving the rules generally. The (Da’if) Ahadith have no value for the purpose of Shari’ah.
However, the scholars of Hadith sometimes differ among themselves in the determination of some Ahadith whether they are weak or not weak. The Ulama have sometimes used weak Ahadith for moral and spiritual matters. It is important that when one uses a weak Hadith for any reason then one should explain that it is a weak Hadith and it is being used for the particular reason.
We must also keep in mind that according to the scholars of Hadith, the Ahadith are counted according to the number of the chain of narrators (Isnad) and not according to the text (matn) of the Hadith. Thus one text of a Hadith is often found reported through many chains of reporters.
Normally the authenticity or weakness of the Hadith is checked, not on the basis of its text (matn), but on the basis of its chain (Isnad) only. The weakness in a Hadith could be due the lack of continuity in the chain of transmitters or due to the lack of integrity ('adalah) of its narrators.
There are various categories of Weak Ahadith depending on what part of the chain of transmitters was interrupted and what lack of integrity is detected in a transmitter or transmitters of that particular Hadith.
No Muslim should accept everything and anything presented as the Messenger of Allah’s word. I do not reject an utterance of the Messenger of Allah. If I do it, I will not remain a Muslim. All I say is that a given report is not acceptable as the Messenger of Allah’s utterance; because the Qur’an testifies that he never followed anything but the Qur’an. This is not Rejection of Hadith. However, to attribute something anti-Qur’anic to the Messenger of Allah is a grave offense.
Sheikh Nasir ul-Dean Al Albani (RH) wrote a series of books called "Silsilat Al Ahadith Addaeefa" the series of weak narrations. These four volume books contain about 2,000 weak Ahadith.
Every Hadith's weakness is explained in details. When one goes through, one will be amazed and astonished to realize that how Muslims have unwittingly used so many weak narrations in the past to support an argument or a wrong practice.
The following 52 weak Ahadith are taken from that series and numbered them as a reference to their locations in the book of Albani.

Hadith
About Me...
(By: Mua)
My life is too boring to think of evenly,
My family has cherished me vainly,
Most of my friends do not care of me at all,
Many people see me oppositely tho' I fall.
Underneath my heart is a gloomy feeling,
Upon seeing they gesture that I hurt them reeling,
Utterly repents and regrets the sight,
Ultimate chaos is certain at that site.
All I did was strived to succeed these kindred,
All I could do is write to express thoughts in hundred,
A beloved Prophet I must adore to my best,
Almighty Allah will surely bless me a rest.
My distinct pairs of ears, eyes, lips, and a nose,
May have been precious gifts since I arose,
Made me enough a grateful slave,
Merrily in service of the faith I am enslave.
Mouminah lighten me dearly when she came,
Mujahid stirred my soul as he was born in tame,
Marjanah has completed my life sweetly ever,
Moments we’ve shared will be treasured forever.
At long last I’ve done sharing my part,
And it’s yours the feeling of being set-apart,
As more people living on this cyber-age,
Are the more times people waste life enrage.
Rowing in the middle of nowhere,
Rays and heat of sun shines everywhere,
Round the clock here I am gently waiting,
Roses, doves are stuffs I am sweetly giving.
