Could you kindly explain the meaning of the following text from Allamah Abdullah Sirajuddin’s commentary on Bayquniyah:
I have understood it as follows:
The actual science of narrating Hadith is to transmit what has come down from Sunnah and to attribute it to the one who said it by using words like حدثنا or اخبرنا etc. The conditions for narrating is for the student to have received the Hadith in one of the accepted ways of receiving/studying such as listening, hearing the narration being read to the teacher, or the teacher giving permission to narrate it etc.

I know the majority of scholars accept weak Hadiths for virtues bearing in mind certain conditions.

So why would weak Hadiths be accepted in this example and others like it. Could you also direct me to any books where this is clarified.
