Translation

The book “The Great Weak” by Al-Uqaili is a work on the science of wounds and modifications, and falls under the classification of causes and questions. The book aims to explain the conditions of the narrators from whom the hadith was transmitted and whose companionship has not been proven, by mentioning their names in alphabetical order, while commenting on their hadiths and explaining what they contain of illusion, denial, or ignorance. The author begins his book by presenting the sayings of the imams of hadith regarding the necessity of clarifying the matter of those who are accused of memorizing the hadith or not memorizing it, based on the fact that this knowledge is a religion.
