@nabz11354 This is not true, the quran is the manual and the prophet muhammed peace be unto him is the instructer. The hadith give the instructions of the commandments (e.g. the quran tells us to pray and the hadith teaches how)..

[nabz11354]

Ahadith has no validity; the Qur'an is complete and self-explanatory in and of itself.

Unless you was a witness to an action or saying to the prophet and the Ahlul Bayt - or it is clearly expressed in the Holy Quran - u can believe it. All other existing data are just possibilites.
