Importance Of Hadith In Sunnah And Overall Islam
History, fiqh & Ahadith books are consulted to disprove ijma & amali tawatur (just like we did in reciting of adhan and iqamat in newborn’s ears). They are never used to prove ijma and amali tawatur (beacause no one disagrees with a significant portion of them). And sometimesthey are used to present other people’s mistake in interpretation of a particular hadith which they conflated with Sunnah. The difference in interpretation of Sunnah is no different than difference in interpretation of Quranic verses. Since the nature of content is different in both transmissions i.e. words (Quran) Vs. Actions (Sunnah), therefore the nature of their interpretation and the differences arising out of those interpretations is also different in nature. Hadith neither adds nor subtracts anything, it would be better if you could present any such hadith that according to you adds or subtracts anything. Ghamidi sb. used all those ahadith as a uswa (role model) of prophet or sometimes as an explanation of some religious content which, even in the absence of that hadith, was completely understood.
