AL-ALBANI’S WEAKENING OF SOME OF IMAM BUKHARI AND MUSLIM’S AHADITH.

Al-Albani has said in “Sharh al-Aqeedah at-Tahaweeah, pg. 27-28? (8th edition, Maktab al-Islami) by Shaykh Ibn Abi al-Izz al-Hanafi (Rahimahullah), that any Hadith coming from the Sahih collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim is Sahih, not because they were narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, but because the Ahadith are in fact correct. But he clearly contradicts himself, since he has weakened Ahadith from Bukhari and Muslim himself! Now let us consider this information in the light of elaboration :-
