In the pamphlet “10 reasons as to why we do not follow books like Bukhari…” the author said:
[Allaah guarantees us that the Qur’aan is preserved (85:21-22) etc, however, ALLAAH does not guarantee us in the Qur’an that Bukhari, Muslim etc are preserved.]
Answer:
(1)
As mentioned in the Qur’aan, Allaah orders the muslims to obey the Prophet and to take him as their model, it is thus impossible for Allaah to refer to us – Muslims of the year 2015 – to follow what was not preserved (ahaadith) . Allaah’s order in the Qur’aan to follow the Prophet is in itself a proof that the Hadiith of the Prophet is preserved.
For example, if you come to borrow money from me, and I refer you to Bhye Zayd, will it be logical that at this moment, Bhye Zayd’s body has already decomposed in his grave? If this is illogical for us, mere human beings, and then how can it be logical that Allaah will order the Muslims of the year 2000 to follow a Prophet whose teachings were already corrupted during his period itself?
Without any doubt, the teachings and the words of the Prophet still exist nowadays and will continue to exist till Qiyaamah, in such a way that it is easily accessible for anyone who wants to follow Al-Qur’aan in the way prescribed by Allaah. It is only some narrow-minded people who cannot understand this truth.

We all agree that the Prophet spoke only the truth, and that after his death, some people had attributed lies to him. Is it because of these “lies” of the “liars” that we are to reject the “truth” from the “truthful”?? Where is the logic in this?
If tomorrow a doctor was to tell you that you have cancer, and another one tells you that you do not have this disease, would you, in such a situation, reject medicine or stop visiting doctors? This is not what you would do, instead, you will pay a third and a forth doctor in order to know the truth. Concerning your health, you know that when a doctor is lying or may be mistaken, you have to look for the truth. But concerning the Hadiith of the Prophet , because of the lies or mistakes of some people, you argue for rejecting all what is known as hadiith.
