The first, second, fifth, seventh, and eighth hadith are weak. The first and fifth hadith are fabricated (mawdu’). The third hadith is attributed to Ali ibn Umar al-Harbi, Abu al-Hasan al-Qazwini, and he likely mentioned it based on experience, without a chain of transmission (sanad). The fourth hadith: its chain of transmission includes Marwan ibn Salim al-Ghifari, who is abandoned (matruk). The sixth hadith is weak. It should be noted that all the mentioned hadith are weak, with the understanding that acting upon a weak hadith in matters of virtuous deeds (fada’il al-a'mal) is permissible under certain conditions and controls.
