Question

There is a man in the USA who goes by the name of Shaikh Uthman Ibn Farook. He was a former Gang member who got Hidaayat, left the evil life , gained some Knowledge about the Deen and has since become somewhat famous debating with Non-Muslims on YouTube and Social Media. Recently he was invited at a Masjid. While he was answering questions about the Tablighi Jamaat he said that if you want to give people a book to read in which they can make Amal on a Hadith then you'd rather give them a book with Authentic Hadiths, not some book -Fazaail e Amaal- which has a lot of Maudhoo, Muallaq, Baatil and baseless Hadiths. (His words) Then he made a sarcastic comment saying, ―Don't give me excuses about how you can use a weak Hadith for the sake of Fadhaail and stuff‖. Instead benefit the Awaam by giving them a book which has Saheeh Hadiths in which they can follow the Fadhaail. Is there anything valid in what he had said?
