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).

Wallaikum salam,

I agree that there are numerous ahadith that were fabricated, and usually we dont even refer to those in our deeni matters. Imam Bukhari r.a. himself collected over a million, yet included a small percentage of that in his collection.

They all are Sahih, and fool proof. A muhaddith would tell you that. There are sciences of hadith (many threads on GS regarding that in the past). Certain ahadith refer to certain events sure, but the message can just as well be implemented in today’s times.

Also, what would fool proof the reformation of these professors?
