REally? So If I come to you one day, and ask you to provide me the context the timing, the historical detail, the narrators, the event, the person in question, for the revelation of ALL the ayahs, and what they mean, and **ALL **the Hadees (which lets say you believe from Bukhari).

You’re saying, you’d be able to tell me all because everyone innately has some sort of wisdom of these things?

Crescent bhai, I agree with Mirch. I think you are looking at his views too superficially. Ahadith are probably the most secure historical context available to us but not fool proof. Definitely we have to laud the efforts of those who collected ahadith and preserved them to the best of their capabilities. Hadith are an implementation of wisdom rooted in the Quran but not a majority of the core principles themselves. For example, you cannot read about the Sirah just from ahadith, you reply on historical accounts, almost all of which has sprung from Ibn Ishaq (which does not even exist today).
