Asslamo alaykom
can anyone tell me how bukhari and muslim used to work when they collected the hadiths? why do we consider both sahihs accurate and reliable? i heard they are the second most accurate sources after the holy qoran... but allah protected qoran from any change ... but did not say he'd protect hadiths of the prophet ... wouldn't it be wiser for us to compare this huge number of hadiths with qoran before we follow what they say? don't you think most of these hadiths described what muslims were asked to do AT THE PROPHETS TIME and not now, ....

one more thing... in what time did bukhari and muslim live ?

thanx in advance

salam
ahmad
