OK so I was wondering, why do some people treat the Hadith as if they were part of the Quran? Basically, what Hazrat Muhammad SAW said and did was collected and compiled into the books of Hadith. And even though the authors did all they could to verify them, they were not above human error.
They could make mistakes (and most probably did) and even if the first books were exact, almost 1300 ears have passed since then. The authors of the *Sahih *books were humans after all.
So my question is: "Why do some people blindly accept some hadiths without research?
For example, there is much controversy about the age of Hazrat Aisha when she was married, with the mainstream Islamic literature claiming that she was 9 (nine), while others put her age around 19…
^^ Look dude .. if you dont wana believe then dont .. simple as that....
while we believe because ..we beleive that the Imams who compiled the sahihain ..were ALOT more knowledgeable and more in contact with the companions of Prophet SAW and the Tabieen .. and hence their research was more powerful and more authentic ..and if we were to do ..we wudnt get further than they did .. because we dont have those sources to verify our findings .. therfore, their findings and reseach and compilations became the ''benchmark'' for the rest..hence we follow it .. thats why .. hadith isnt just about being sahih and not sahih .. if you have studied 'ilm e hadith' you d know that theres more to just sahih and non sahih .. there is hassan and hassan bi zaati hi..theres marfoo ...theres mu allaq .. thers maudoo .. theres ghareeb ..and then thres munkar ..etc etc ... i.e. differnt stages and levels given to hadith .. and so when we use hadith and rely upon it .. we look at its level and its chain .. ..we dont just blindly .. follow it i.e. we dont use a ghareeb hadith with a weak chain to prove sometihng difinitive ..
