Why Do The People Of Desires Malign Hadeeth
Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) said in Sharh ‘ilal At-Tirmidhee:
"Many of those who attack the people (i.e. scholars) of Hadeeth become overwhelmed (i.e. cannot help themselves) in mentioning something from these ‘ilal (the defects present in some weak Hadeeth). And the intended purpose of that is to totally discredit and cast doubts in Hadeeth; or (for example), to malign the Hadeeth that are not from the people of Hijaaz, similar to what Hussain al-Karaabeesee did in his book which he called ‘Kitaabul-Mudalliseen’. And indeed his book was mentioned to Imaam Ahmad, so he criticised and rebuked him very harshly for it. Likewise, Aboo Thawr and other scholars renounced and rejected him for it.
Al-Marroodhee (d. 275H) said: “I went to Al-Karaabeesee and at that time he was Mastoor (his evil condition and innovation were hidden) because he used to defend the Sunnah and show (feign) being with and supporting Aboo 'Abdillaah (Ahmad b. Hanbal). So I said to him: 'Indeed, ‘Kitaabul-Mudalliseen’ some people want to present it to Aboo 'Abdillaah. So openly declare that you have regret so that I can go and inform Aboo 'Abdillaah.' So he replied to me: ‘Indeed Aboo ‘Abdillaah is a righteous man, the likes of him is granted success in reaching the truth. And I am very pleased that my book will be presented to him.’ He also said: ‘Aboo Thawr (d. 240H), Ibn ‘Aqeel and Hubaysh (d. 252H) have asked me to efface this book; but I refused to do it and I said: ‘Rather, I will make additions to it.' So he stubbornly persisted and continued upon that and he obstinately refused to turn back from it.”
Therefore, the book was brought to Aboo 'Abdillaah and he did not know who had authored it. And the book had disparagement of al-‘Amash in it and support for al-Hasan b. Saalih. And it had in it: ‘If you claim that al-Hasan b. Saalih used to see the opinion of the Khawaarij, then this is Ibn az-Zubayr who revolted (against the ruler!).’ So when it was read out to Aboo ‘Abdillaah, he said: “This man has gathered for the opponents that which they will never be able to use as Hujjah (decisive proof). Warn from him." And he forbade from it.
Subsequently, groups from the People of Innovation - the Mu'tazilah and others beside them - were greatly affected and influenced by this book, such that they would vilify and speak ill of Ahlul-Hadeeth, the likes of Ibn ‘Abbaad as-Saahib and those of his ilk...
However, as for the People of Knowledge, (the People of) Ma'rifah, (the People of) Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah then they mention the defects in Hadeeth as a form of advice in the religion, and to preserve the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ), and as a protection for the Sunnah. And also to distinguish from that which there has entered upon its narrators something from error, slip or misunderstanding, and with them (i.e. Ahlul-Hadeeth) that does not necessitate maligning other Ahaadeeth which do not have any defects. Rather, they strengthen the Sound Ahaadeeth by that because they are free from any defects and they are safe from any calamities. So they are in reality the truly knowledgeable and well-acquainted experts of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ), and they are the greatest of the scholars who specialise in the critique of Hadeeth. They are like the specialist Goldsmiths who can decipher between the pure gold from the impure or low grade gold, or the gemstone expert who can decipher between the real gems from the counterfeit ones."

Stop Reading The Books Of The People Of Innovation
Shaykh Muhammad b. Saalih al-Uthaymeen rahimahullaah said:
And from the boycotting of the people of innovations is the abandonment of looking into their books; out of fear of being afflicted with Fitnah (trials and tribulations) by them, or (for fear of) spreading them among the general-folk. So staying away and distancing oneself from the places/areas of misguidance is an obligation; that is based upon his statement (ﷺ) about the Dajjaal:
"Whoever hears of (the appearance of) the Dajjaal then let him stay away from him. For by Allaah, a man will indeed come to him whilst considering himself to be a believer, and he will (end up) following him due to that which he will bring about (and put) in him from the Shubuhaat (doubts)."

And do not split away from the Jamaa'ah (the united body of the Muslims)."
Explanation by Imaam al-Aajurree rahimahullaah:
"So if a person says: 'What is your understanding concerning the statement of 'Umar (radiallaahu 'anhu) which he mentioned?' Then it is said to him (i.e. the questioner): "It is possible - and Allaah, the Most High, knows best - for us to say: 'Whoever is put in authority over you whether he is from the Arab or other than them, black or white, or a foreigner then you must obey him in that which there is no disobedience in it to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. Moreover, if he prevents you from your rights, he beats you unjustly (without due right), he violates your honour, and takes your wealth (by force), then that should not make you revolt against him by drawing your sword out to fight him. And do not go out revolting alongside a Khaarijee to fight him, and do not incite others to rebel against him but rather be patient with him.'
And it could also be understood that "if he calls you to a matter which is detrimental to your religion" to mean other than this viewpoint; and it could be taken to mean that he orders you with killing someone who is not deserving of being killed, or to cut a limb off someone who does not deserve that, or to beat someone who it is impermissible to beat, or to forcibly take someone's wealth who it is not right to take his wealth, or to wrong or oppress someone whom it is neither permissible for him nor for you to oppress. So if he says to you: 'If you do not do that which I order you with then I will certainly kill you or severely beat you.' Then say: Take my blood but not my religion.' That is due to the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ): "There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator." And his (ﷺ) statement: "Obedience is only in that which is good."
