Thank you for the link. The writer has not produced any evidence to back up his claim that the hadith were written down at the time of the prophet. he just states so and expects everyone to assume it to be true. Like most who follow a particular sect he/she is heavily biased towards his own sect and quite convieniently fails to produce any credible evidence.
Apart from this come with this impeccable line:

[quote] The Prophet  first forbade the writing of hadith so that people not confuse it with the Qur'an. He then allowed or ordered some Companions to write hadith when there was no risk of confusion [/quote]

I see what would be the confusion at the beginning that would not be there later on. Anyhow it would be ok to memorise something (from the beginning) but not write it down. Do you think it is less likely to cause confusion to ask someone to commit something to memory than actually have it in a written record!

[quote] Brother, I've no idea where you got this information from that the Prophet (SAW) was infallible. He was human, and all humans are capable of making mistakes. It's just that he was the best human and no-one can ever beat him in that.  [/quote]

I am glad you are clear on the fact that he was only a human. Obviousouly so were all the other prophets and again the Quran is quite clear there is no distinction amongst them.
However my understanding of hadith followers (please correct me if I am wrong) that the prophet was perfect and incapable of making mistakes hence we must follow everything he did and say to become a muslim. Otherwise, as you have now acknowldged, as he was capable
of making mistakes in his daily existance. Then how do you know what you might be following in his, alleged, life and his alleged sayings were not also possible mistakes.
