Tamam al-MinnahNasir al-Din al-Albani

And under “The Warnings against Breaking the Fast in Ramadan” he writes:

1 – On the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The supports of Islam … .”

I say: The author already cited this report in the chapter on abandoning the prayer, and there I demonstrated its weakness; repeating that discussion is unnecessary.

2 – On the authority of Abū Hurayrah, the Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever breaks the fast for a single day of Ramadan without a concession that Allah has granted him, the fasting of an entire lifetime would not make it up, even if he were to observe it.” Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, and al-Tirmidhī transmitted it, and al-Bukhārī said, “It is related from Abū Hurayrah with a marfūʿ chain … .”

I say: The hadith is weak. Al-Bukhārī hinted at that by employing the expression “it is related,” and Ibn Khuzaymah judged it weak in his Ṣaḥīḥ (3/238), as did al-Munḏhirī, al-Baghawī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Dhahabī, and al-Damīrī, according to what al-Manāwī reports, as well as Ibn Ḥajar. Ibn Ḥajar listed three defects: inconsistency, an unknown narrator, and a break in the chain; see Fatḥ al-Bārī 4/161.

He nevertheless erred when he said, “Ibn Khuzaymah authenticated it.” The correct wording is: Ibn Khuzaymah recorded it in his Ṣaḥīḥ but weakened it in the chapter heading, saying, “If this report is authentic, I do not know Ibn al-Miṭwās or his father.”

A likewise serious error was committed by one of our brothers—may Allah guide him—in his work “The Sound Hadiths Selected from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī.” He did not realize that in al-Bukhārī the narration is merely suspended (muʿallaq), and that al-Bukhārī’s muʿallaq reports are not all deemed authentic by him, let alone by others; indeed, this is one that al-Bukhārī himself implicitly weakened, as I have just explained. I drew his attention to this in the book’s first edition, and he promised to rectify it. I do not know whether he has since managed to reprint the work and remove the report in fulfillment of that promise; I had thought well of him.

ومن الترهيب من الفطر في رمضان قوله: "١ - عن ابن عباس أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: عرى الإسلام ... ". قلت: ذكره المؤلف في حكم ترك الصلاة وقد بينت ضعفه هناك فأغنى عن الإعادة. قوله: "٢ - وعن أبي هريرة أن النبي ﷺ قال: "من أفطر يوما من رمضان في غير رخصة رخصها الله له لم يقض عنه صيام الدهر كله وإن صامه". رواه أبو داود وابن ماجه والترمذي وقال البخاري: ويذكر عن أبي هريرة رفعه ... ". قلت: الحديث ضعيف وقد أشار لذلك البخاري بقوله: "ويذكر" وضعفه ابن خزيمة في "صحيحه" ٣ / ٢٣٨ والمنذري والبغوي والقرطبي والذهبي والدميري فيما نقله المناوى والحافظ ابن حجر وذكر له ثلاث علل: الاضطراب والجهالة والانقطاع راجع لها "فتح الباري" ٤ / ١٦١ ولكنه اخطأ في قوله: "وصححه ابن خزيمة" والصواب أن يقال: رواه في صحيحه وضعفه في الترجمة بقوله: "إن صح الخبر فإني لا أعرف ابن المطوس ولا أباه". وكذلك أخطأ خطأ فاحشا أحد إخواننا ﵀ في تأليفه "الأحاديث الصحيحة" اختارها من "صحيح البخاري" لأنه لم يعلم أنه معلق عنده وأن معلقاته ليست كلها صحيحة عنده فضلا عن غيره وأن هذا مما ضعفه هو نفسه إشارة كما ذكرت آنفا. وقد كنت لفت نظره إلى ذلك في طبعة الكتاب الأولى فوعد خيرا فلا أدري إذا كان قد تمكن من إعاده طبعه وحذفه منه وفاء بوعده؟ فإني كنت أظن فيه خيرا.
