[Heba E. Husseyn]

Allah bless you, brother.   

And yes,  you're right.  The Hadith literature is very keen to show that the Prophet (sw) was not particular on following the Quranic instructions .... whereas the truth is that the Prophet (sw) meticulously followed ONLY the Quran. 

Additionally, the Hadith also tries to show that the Prophet (sw) was very autocratic like a dictator who spoke to his people in a very commanding and angry tone, including the Hadith. quoted above.  Again, the opposite of the truth.  The Prophet (sw) is known throughout history as being the most gentle and humble person.  Even Western historians and orientalists acknowledge this fact.  In Verse 3:159 Allah confirms that the Prophet was lenient with his followers.  In the same Verse, Allah also tells the Prophet to make decisions with mutual consultations with his people which the Prophet did.  In Verse 68:4, Allah compliments the Prophet by stating that the Prophet has a "tremendous nature."   In Verse 69:40 Allah addresses the Prophet as an "illustrious messenger," Alhumdulilah.  In Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 107, Allah confirms that He sent the final messenger as a mercy for mankind: "We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples."    Yet, the Hadith keeps portraying the beloved Prophet (sw) as a disobedient and proud man.  AstaghfarAllah.  Only Allah will deal with these liars on the Final Day, InshAllah.

In Surah Ad-Duha (Chapter 93) and Surah Al-Kausar (Chapter 108), Allah expresses His love and His kindnesses which He bestowed on the Prophet.  In Verse 33:56 Allah mentions:  "Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation."   Would Allah ever address the Prophet with such admiration and love if the Prophet had behaved as the Hadith liars accuse him of?  Yet I don't know why the Muslims today don't think and instead blindly accept whatever the imams say.  It's obvious that for majority of Muslims their imams are more important to them than the Noble Quran.  For that reason, they are not in a position to reflect on the commandments of the Quran because they never consult the Quran for finding answers.  Instead they consult the Hadith or seek fatwas from their so-called scholars & ulemas on what's Halal or what's Haram.  Very sad situation for the Ummah.
