"Just as the Quran is a source of religion, so is Hadithes." was a position of a Bahai in this forum. I was intrigued to understand the Bahai position on ahadith.
1. Do Bahai's have an official position on ahadith?
2. Do Bahai's accept and adopt all the hadith or do they filter based on their own methodology?
3. Or, do Bahai's use traditional or modern methodologies developed by Muslim scholarship?
I have seen some atheists use hadith to insult Islam and Muhammed as if they believe in hadith. Christians do that too. Not all, but some. So do others. But this particular one came as a surprise to me because I have not known Bahai's trying to authenticate hadith as a whole, even equating it to the Qur'an which even Muslims do not do. Generally. Thus this question.
Thanks in advance.
