I find this statement very disturbing. This statement implies that the sahih-hadith we have today are 100% genuine. Is that what you believe in?

If so, then this leaves no room to challenge any hadith, and to debate on its authenticity. This means we are doomed to blindly follow what the men of the past  related to us, believing that is the word of the prophet.

Take for example Sahih Bukhari. I assume you believe all hadith in Sahih Bukhari are 100% genuine. Now I found 31 hadith narrated by 'Abu Bakra' in Sahih Bukhari. He was a companion of the prophet who had been freed by him from slavery. Later in the khilafat of Umar (rta), Umar punished Abu Bakra of slandering someone in accordance with the Quranic verses:

And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fâsiqûn (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). (Nur-verse4)

The other half of the above verse orders us to reject the testimony of such a person ever after.

Now ask yourself, what are Abu Bakra's hadith doing in Sahih Bukhari? Allah asks us to throw out his testimony, so we should discard his hadith.

And Allah knows best.[/quote]
