The Weak/Baseless narrations about the merit when the Day of `Arafah comes on Friday - which people wrongly consider as al-Hajj al-Akbar or that it has special virtues: “The best day on which the sun has risen is the Day of `Arafah which coincides with Friday, (performing Hajj) in it is better than Seventy Hajjs performed in other days.” [Silsilah al-Hadeeth al-Dha`eefah (1193, 3144). Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “This Hadeeth is Baatil (baseless) and has no origin.”] “The most superior day is the Day of `Arafah which coincides with Friday, (performing Hajj) in it is better than Seventy Hajj performed in days other than Friday.” [Silsilah al-Hadeeth al-Dha`eefah (207). Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “This Hadeeth is Baatil (baseless) and has no origin.”] Ibn Hajar said in “Fath al-Baaree (8/271)”: “As for what Razeen (bin Mu`aawiyah) has mentioned in his book “Jaami`ah” attributing the narration to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that: “The best day on which the sun has risen is the Day of `Arafah which coincides with Friday, (performing Hajj) in it is better than Seventy Hajj performed in other days.”, then this Hadeeth, I do not know of its condition (authenticity), for he (Razeen) did not mention the name of the Companion who reported this nor from where he took this Hadeeth.” Ibn al-Qayyim said in “Zaad al-Ma`aad (1/65)”: “As for (the narration) that has become widespread upon the tongues of the people that it is like performing Seventy-Two Hajj, is baseless and there is no origin for it, neither from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم nor from the Companions or Taabi`een.” Al-Manaawee also said in “Faidh al-Qadeer (2/28)”: “What has become widespread (among the people) that it is equal to performing Seventy-Two Hajj, is baseless, without any origin as al-Haafidh (Ibn Hajar) has mentioned.” Shaikh al-Albaanee further said said: “Know that this book of Razeen, “Tajreed al-Sihaah”, is a collection of Ahaadeeth from the Six Canonical books: The Two Saheehs, Muwatta of Maalik, and the Sunans of Abu Dawood, al-Nasaa’ee and al-Tirmidhee, basing his work on the book of Ibn al-Atheer which is known as “Jaami` al-Usool min Ahaadeeth al-Rasool”, except that in “al-Tajreed”, (Razeen) mentioned many Ahaadeeth which have no origin in these Six books (of Hadeeth); this is known to those scholars who have narrated from him like al-Mundhiree in “Targheeb wal-Tarheeb”. Similarly, this Hadeeth has no origin in these (Six) books nor in any other known books of Hadeeth.” [al-Dha`eefah (1/373/207)]
