Muslims: Are the Hadith fair dinkum or not, and if they are, what online English translation do you accept?
A couple of opinions as to their veracity from my previous questions: "You will assurredly find contradictions and mistakes in many Hadith because these were told and placed in volumes many years after the death of Muhammad (saws), and, as we all know, to err is human." "For your knowledge the hadiths were collected by the people who saw Muhammad (PBUH) doing his acts and by those who remained very near to the Prophet. There were a few Hadiths which were doubtful. To confirm its truthfulness, the researchers checked the authenticity and the character of those who narrated the hadith. The search was so crucial and strict that even if a small negligence of the narrator is proved then that hadith was not included in the book of Hadith."

- Sunnis accept the sahih Bukhari. i don't know any online hadiths websites. i don't trust the internet personally.
- went looking at Hadith you must also look at the rating. If it is real then there is a report on how they are recorded and confirmed. Then there is a rating good, ok, and bad. For how true they are. Although some bad are published it is also published that they are bad.
- any weakness in narration or who told it will be compared with the trusted one if it was against them it be denyed any hadith against ayah in quran nit falls,there is knoledge to know the hadith if its true or not and general weak hadith no one accepts its orders if its conflects with other trusted one.
- Hadiths that have been quoted in the Book of Hadiths (Most famously ones Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim), have a very Strong Check System for Authenticity. So only Valid Hadiths can be found there, and there won't be any contradictions and mistakes. Peace to All.
- Islam differs from other religions by being documented and authentic in a Superior scientific way. The book of Al-Bukhari contains around 6000 Hadith chosen from more than 600000, which mean he approved only 1%. Now when people of other Faith's say so and so, who knows really what is true and authentic and what is false and fabricated?

The Truth About Muhammad by Robert Spencer Meet the real Muhammad: Muhammad's bizarre reaction to his first "revelation": "I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself" The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule "Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world "This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids "War is deceit": the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons" "If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior "I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon "Embrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safe": Muhammad's threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia Muhammad's frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world "I have been made victorious with terror" – and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed Six steps that American leaders can and must take in order to protect our nation from Islamic jihad terrorism
