The Importance of Authenticity in Our Religion

Most of the sira is not mentioned in the books of Hadith. It is mentioned in Ibn izhath and other books, a different genre. The standards of authenticity are one degree less. And that is why a lot of the incidents aren't as authentic if you like. But we have no problems narrating them because so what if it's slightly weak? No, no big deal. Sometimes however we get into problems and this story is one of them.
