Shi`a claim : see your sunni scholar quoted it in his book so it is authentic Answer : Not one scholar of ours ever said that just because a scholar quotes a tradition in his book, it becomes his belief or authentic automatically. now we could give you athaar showing why and with what intent did our muhadditheen narrate/store weak and fabricated ahadeeth, but that will take a very long time. We could also show you how our scholars at many instances, even in kutub at-tareekh mentioned a narration and then themselves said or proved how fabricated it was and we can show how your species purposely skipped that part . See : the-finalrevelation.blogspot/2012/07/refute-to-shia-claimthat-companions-plotted-against-rasool.html nevertheless, these shi`as, They fail to understand that our scholars quote a tradition for different reasons and not always they care about its authenticity. So there are scholars who when quote a tradition, they quote it for its authenticity like Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban etc in their Sahih collections. There are those who quote a tradition because of its weakness like Ibn al-Jawzi, Al-Shawkani, Mulla ‘Ali Qari in their collections on fabricated narrations. There are those who quote a narration to explain the usage of Arabic word contained in it, like Ibn Manzoor in Lisan al-‘Arab, Majduddin Ibn al-Atheer in An-Nihayah etc. There are those who quote a hadeeth as an example of a narration by specific narrator, for example Tareekh Baghdad of Khateeb in which the author mentions a narrator and after mentioning the sayings of scholars regarding him he narrates traditions narrated by him. There are those who compile books just to collect narrations on specific topic. For example, As-Suyuti compiled Al-Jami’ al-Kabeer or Jam’ al-Jawami’ which was later rearranged by ‘Ali Muttaqi in Kanz al-‘Ummal. This book is a collection of everything which is narrated from the Prophet (sallahu `alayhi wa sallam). So we see scholars quote a narration in their book for different reasons and its authenticity is considered while doing it. Hence, the claim of some or many rawafidh that it is Hujjah on sunnis because some sunni scholars have mentioned is in itself a flawed theory to begin with
