and here a question arises, as it is said today: what drove these individuals to discard most of the ḥadīths they authenticated from what they called "the refinement"?! There is no doubt that the answer is clear to anyone with insight, which is to reduce the size of the book and to deceive people into thinking that they have compiled the authentic ḥadīths of "encouragement" into a single volume, prompting them to purchase it! And Allāh knows best what is in their hearts! Even if we assume their sincerity in this work and in "encouragement," that does not justify their actions; because they are not among the people of knowledge, and we have presented dozens of examples, some of which are both laughable and lamentable at the same time! The ḥadīth of the translation is one of those examples; they did not improve its isnād, which is considered good by scholars, and even by beginners in this field. Then they deemed it good due to its supporting narrations—though it has no supporting narration at all as previously mentioned—and it is among the thousands of those ḥadīths they discarded! May Allāh guide them. *

And in the other chain:
