Re: Challenge for Hadeeth Rejectors
The value of Hadith should not be disputed, but it irks me that people are foolish enough to think that those hadith we have compiled were necessary to explain Islamic rituals or even the Quran itself.
It's folly to think this knowledge would not have been accumulated and passed down even if there was no attempt by great scholars like Imam Bukhari to record them in a particular way. There's no doubt that their methodology was required...what these great scholars have given us is as much consistency as humanly possible.
But people come dangerously close to suggesting that the Hadith we have are complete, or all we need. On the contrary, it's all we have. They may well be incomplete, or even inaccurate. The same can't be said of the Quran.
