Conflicting sources

One claim

Later, Ibn Hajar made a detailed examination of the same hadith. He stated that A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions is as unreliable in its declaring the grade of "forged" as Mustadrak al-Hakim is unreliable in its declaring the grade of "sound." There where two Muslim scholars named Ibn Hajar Ibn Hajar Asqalani - Shafii Ibn Hajar Al-Haythami - Shafii, born 909h This is a disambiguation page—a list of articles associated with the same title. ... Al-Mustadrak alaa al-Sahihain or Mustadrak al-Hakim is a ten volum hadith collection writen by Hakim al-Nishaburi, the leading hadith scholar of his time. ...

He listed in al-Qawl al-Musaddad fil-Dhabb `an Musnad al-Imam Ahmad (published by Shaykh Ahmad Shakir in his edition of the Musnad) 22 hadiths from Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal which Ibn al-Jawzi included in A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions and he argues that of the 22 claimed forgeries, none can be conclusively said to actually be forged.

Some Sunnis, however, believe that Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal contains no forgeries.

Other claims

Ibn Hajar claimed to have proven every hadith except thirteen as authentic.

Suyuti later scrutinized them once more and concluded that none were fabricated, although a few may have weak chains of transmission. Imam Al-Suyuti (849-911 ah) is a respected early scholar of Ahl Al-Sunna Wal-Jamaa. ...

Suyuti also reviewed Ibn al-Jawzi's A Great Collection of Fabricated Traditions and listed the authentic ones. Thinking that the rest might not be fabricated either, he wrote The Artificial Pearls (Al-Laa'li al-Masnu'a).

These hadith are generally thought to be fabricated by interpolation (i.e. that narrator jumbling up information, mixing texts and authoritative chains) rather than being mere creations of a dubious narrator's imagination.

Another issue is the fact that Imam Ahmad added hadith to his Musnad which he later struck out. This methodology was not understood by some and those deleted hadith are often re-included in the work when transribed.
