[quote]All Ahadith do not contradict each other. There is an enormous amount of Ahadith that are authentic, and in complete harmony with what is in the Qur’an, the Sunnah and established facts. If this is so, should we then reject it merely because it is not an [i]absolute certainty, even though we cannot find anything wrong in it? Is this how little importance we give to knowledge on the life of the Prophet (p)? [/i]

If you are looking at Islam there is no room for for even slightest falsehood or contradiction. However if you are looking at hadith book merely as asource of history then that that is a completely different issue.

[i]Text[/i]The first Muslims would have interpreted the Qur’an in light of its context and style. They would have understood its language best. But they also would have had knowledge of its background. The Ahadith provide us with background information and such a thing for a piece of literature is always of value. There is no doubt about that.

why is it of a value? How can you be so sure that there is no doubt when you yourself accept that some of thhe hadiths are not accurate.

There is nothing astonishing about it whatsoever. The word has a meaning and the meaning is what is important. It was not used as a term in the Qur’an – bottom line! You can say that God knew about the future emergence of Ahadith, but that does not mean that we interpret verses as we desire, taking them out of context and adding new meanings on to them. Why did He not clearly tell them that the “Hadith” He is referring to are those which are going to be compiled by Muhammad’s (p) followers? Why leave it so vague, especially when such a big issue is now being made out of it? What I find astonishing is the lengths that people go to, to invent and clutch unto their own ideas even when it is completely unsupported by the context. Have they forgotten how to interpret a piece of literature?

I am afraid you are the one interpreting the word and its meaning I have simply left it intact.
What do you think God means by the sentence- which hadith other than the Quran are you going believe.
I am not sure why you are so convinced that you are ideas so right and others merely clutching, exactly which text supports your prejudices. Perhaps ou can start a course on how to interpret the literature correctly then no one will ever disagree  with your interpretation.[/quote]
