Murtads & Zanis were being executed from early times, from the time of the Sahaba until Bukhari and Muslim compiled their Hadiths, we have clear examples of this and it was a tradition followed and known from the religion by necessity, yet modernist Quranists reject it. No matter how many excuses you make for the Quranists, they will remain inconsistent.The way of praying was passed on from early muslims unchanged, muslims were praying from the early days non stop. So the knowledge of praying was being passed on from early days of salah till to day. You or any of us didn't read the instruction of how to pray from Sahih Al-Bukhari or Muslim but from your parents or the imam, or the teacher.
Unlike the hadith that were compiled after hundred of years after the death of Prophet Muhammad and had to go through intense authentication and verification that was agreed upon from early days.
