[quote]Quote:-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?

Reply: -No I did not say that but I believe that the Sahih hadiths are reliable and one can follow them without any hesitation. Even if one have any kind of doubt in any of sahih hadith, he can do his research on that. But the matter of those who only heard about the corruption in the hadiths, and this disturb them a lot and are very quick in forming an opinion (even though they don’t have good knowledge of hadiths) is another one. Bellow is an example of yours.  
 
Quote: -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:
 
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.

Reply: - Abu Bakra (ra) was not a liar. According to the Shariah, if you accuse someone of adultery, you must produce 4 witnesses and if you cannot produce 4 witnesses then the witnesses themselves are supposed to get whipped and declared unreliable. In the case of Abu Bakra, the fault wasn't his own but simply by a legal technicality where the fourth witness retracted his statement, then the shari'i principle was implemented against him.

Most scholars consider it an honour for him (ra), because he refused to lie and withdraw his testimony and preferred punishment instead. This is part of his (ra) standing for the truth

Ibn Kathir said: "Abu Bakra is a noble companion, strong in ability, and the entire nation ('ummah) has agreed upon accepting the narrations of this great companion."
