Hadiths still plays an important role in Islam. I am just upset that how some people believe if a hadith comes from Bukhari or Muslim means that it cannot be challenged or questioned.Do you pick out the hadiths you like and follow them? or do you disregard them completely?
I think it's silly how the quran can technically be abrogated by the sunnah in some instances, but then again it all depends on ur perspective i guess
Thats why I want the authenticity of each hadith to be tested.Imam Bukhari lived more than 200 years AFTER the events who wrote about occurred. As any competent historian will tell you, these documents are not reliable. The most reliable historical documents are those written by live witnesses. And no, the so-called Islamic "isnad" or chain narration is not sound substitute. These chain of narrations don't establish the truthfulness of the actual stories.
How?Thats why I want the authenticity of each hadith to be tested.
Research about each narrator in the chain of hadith. Questions has to be asked like does the number and order of the narrators in the chain make sense? Any backgroung information of each narrator. Does the hadith make sense? Does it contradict the quran in anyway?How?
Look for more through archaeology?
I see. If I remember correctly, weren't you an ex-Muslim?Research about each narrator in the chain of hadith.

God forbid, I never was. But I will admit that there was a time when I started questioning a few things inside myself about my deen. But since then I have recovered.I see. If I remember correctly, weren't you an ex-Muslim?
Okay, I probably confused for you another person. If I was you, I would compile all the hadiths you doubt about and go up the chain into an excel spreadsheet and ask questions if things don't make sense.God forbid, I never was.

Well, why do I have this feeling that you are being sarcastic?Okay, I probably confused for you another person. If I was you, I would compile all the hadiths you doubt about and go up the chain into an excel spreadsheet and ask questions if things don't make sense.
I'm not, but okayWell, why do I have this feeling that you are being sarcastic?
I am aware of that.Out of 600k hadiths Bukari collected, he only considered 7k to be true.
All those things have been done by Islamic scholars in the past. The hadiths that have a sound chain of narration are considered sahih.Research about each narrator in the chain of hadith.

Any sahih hadith written by Bukhaari or Muslim is authentic and anyone who rejects it is a kaafir
