Is it possible to trust all ahaadeeth?

 

Is it possible to trust all ahaadeeth?

Praise be to
Allaah.

Among the ahaadeeth which are attributed
to the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), there are some which are
saheeh (sound), concerning which there is no doubt that they are the
words of the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). There are others which
are da’eef (weak) and there are doubts that they can be attributed to
him. Both saheeh and da’eef are well known to the scholars. Books of
saheeh have been compiled which include saheeh ahaadeeth such as
Saheeh al-Bukhaari and Saheeh Muslim; there are other books
which include saheeh ahaadeeth and others, like the other books of hadeeth,
The scholars have gone to great lengths to distinguish the saheeh from
others, as is well known to young students let alone those who have
specialized in the study of the Sunnah.
