[quote]As I see it, Hadith is not a saying of the Prophet (pbuh), on the contrary, Hadith is, in fact, a saying ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh), with the obvious possibility of being an incorrect or an inaccurate ascription. It is primarily this fact relating to Hadith, which has always promoted extensive investigation in this field among the Muslims, during all times. Thus, the Qur'anic directive relating to the obedience towards the Prophet (pbuh) should not unconditionally be applied on Hadith

Moreover, as is quite obvious that if Hadith had been a primary source of Islam, the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions would have indeed directed all their efforts to the compilation as well as the transmittance of Hadith. However, there is absolutely no evidence of this effort - neither during the times of the Prophet (pbuh) nor during that of the companions. All that can be found are some disjointed individual efforts and that too without the backing or even the approval or support of the collectivity of the Muslims. None of the more well-known companions of the Prophet (pbuh) or even his wives seems to have given Hadith the importance that should have obviously been given to a primary source of Islam - as was the case with the Qur'an (or even the Sunnah)
In contrast to the transmission of the Qur'an and that of the Sunnah Hadith has been transmitted by only one or a few persons in each generation. 
In contrast to the transmission of the Qur'an and that of the Sunnah, the transmission of Hadith is critically dependant on not only the correct understanding and perception of the narrators but also their correct and unblemished reporting of that saying or incident. This really implies that even if the chain of narrators comprises of absolutely reliable, honest and intelligent individuals - even those of the caliber of Abu Bakr and Umar (ra) - one can still not be certain about the accuracy of the reported incident or saying. We know that even the most honest, reliable and intelligent individuals are prone to making mistakes in understanding as well as in narrating their understanding. 
The variance in the standards of the various scholars and compilers of Hadith relating to the acceptability of a narrative as correctly ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh); their mutual differences in the strictness of the application of these standards; their compromises and variations in accepting narratives, which did not fully meet their standards; and their understanding and interpretation of the Qur'an and the text of the reported narratives is in itself an evidence that the work of these compilers and scholars, like that of the Muslim jurists, is based on their own particular interpretation, understanding and appreciation of the problem and should, therefore, not be given divine sanctity. Matters relating to human understanding and the application of such understanding are always open for discussion as well as difference of opinion.The best example in this regard is the difference of opinion of Imam Bukahri and his student Imam Muslim.Both had different standards of accepting and rejecting Ahadith.Can anyone say that they had different standards in accepting or rejecting God's guidance?There are Ahadith in Bukahri which later on were proven to be wrongly ascribed to prophet pbuh.How can this be a part of Deen?
If you consider each of these points closely, you shall see that Hadith, in contrast to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh), due to the factors inherent in its transmission overtime cannot be considered an independent source of the Islamic Shari`ah.
Please look into the issue with open mind.We are not rejecting ahadith as it is the only source of prophet's entire life history but it has very obvious weaknesses due to which it can never be considered as a primary source of Deen.
However,under the light of Quran and sunnah there is indeed some great guidance in ahadith and it would be very unfortunate if we don not make use of it.[/quote]
