Purpose of Ahadith

AoA,

In religious discussion, we back up our comments with references from the ahadith. I would like to ask you all a question that what is the purpose of a ahadith bringing into any discussion?

1- Just argue
2- Talking about narrater (disagree/agree/defend)
3- Correction of our behavior
4- Further clarification due to acceptance

or

5- To pratice same as narrated

Feel free to add any point to express your views. Thankyou.

Re: Purpose of Ahadith

Before any conversation is had regarding hadith - the seeker should acquire the reference and seek it out from his own books. Read it in many versions if he/she does not know Arabic and if he/she does know Arabic to read the source script.

Then to look for commentaries on it by scholars and use these comments in any such discussions. If a debate brews up to refer the matter to your authorities and kindly avoid the argument.

Re: Purpose of Ahadith

:wsalam2: & Peace,

I think we should act/follow as is it ordered in any hadith without any hesitation. We shall not try to find out any leniency (due to any worldly affairs). Once I heard an audo lecture where the commentator said "When a person to the Companions r.a. (after Prophet Muhammad :saw2: ) for further clarification (if there is any leniency in the matter), the Companions r.a. just reply “What Almighty Allah and His Prophet :saw2: said ‘thats it’, we don’t what if this or what if that”. So I think the matter should be very straight forward and bold.
