Please know that a very small numbers of Hadith or sayings and acts of the Prophet of Islam are accepted by ALL Muslims to be true. Most of these authentic hadeeth were narrated by Jaaber Ibne Abdullah Al-Ansari or by Ali Bin Abi Talib and other folks who are accepted by all sects of the Muslims across the board.
Almost all of the ahadeeth of Abu Huraiyrah are not accepted by the Shia, as he was considered a man lacking in character, based on which Omar r.a. himself had soundly lashed him. Men such as Muwaviah bin Abu Sufyaan (the son of the arch enemy of our Prophet who later became the ruler of Muslims and their caliph), used to reward people for bringing in sayings of the Prophet and he would give a coin of gold to anyone who brought a hadeeth. This opened the door for lies and for creative mischief against the Prophet. Traditions were coined to bring a bad light on the character of the Prophet. Remember also that the son of Muwaviah whose name was Yazeed, could not contain himself only in heaping garbage on the character of the prophet but physically killed the grandson of the Prophet after denying him water for three days in the desert of arabia along with his seventy one companions. Yazeed also made the family of the Prophet prisoners and the women of the family of the Prophet were taken from one bazar of arabia to another as captives.
NO MUSLIM could tolerate such humiliation of the Prophet's grand daughters and family or the murder of his progeny!! This also shows how the Lord Almighty kept Islam alive, in spite of the enemies of Islam taking high positions in the government established in the years following the Prophet.
It is also a fact that Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim (two of the most authentic of the six books of hadeeth for the Muslims) came more than two hundred years after the Prophet. True they collected the ahadeeth through a lot of effort, but it is like someone today collecting with a lot of effort events that took place during the independence days of America in 1776.
There is also a beautiful saying of the Prophet which is accepted by all sects which says: "If any of my hadeeth is narrated to you that does not match with the Quran, throw it on the wall as a lie".
Clearly this establishes the criteria of which hadeeth may be accepted and which may not be accepted. Those who say that Hadeeth are not needed completely are again walking in the shadows of darkness.
How will they pray? The Quran simply says "Establish Prayers" but does not describe how to do so. Quran also orders us to follow the Prophet. If we do not have any hadeeth, how are we to obey the Quran?
So, balance is the key in everything!! I hope I make sense.

Munir, this is a problem in , for example, which takes an unusually large number of ahadeeth from Abi Hurayra (who spent relatively little time with Prophet Muhammad) and Aysha, while taking very few ahadeeth from the Ahlul-bayt, who benefitted most from the instruction of the Prophet.
Is it not interesting that Abi Hurayra and Aysha each have far more ahadeeth recorded in than Fatima, Ali, Hasan, and Husayn combined?
You will find that the Jafari school of thought studies fiqh based on the following foundation provided by the Prophet, recorded in in these words:
I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the
Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light....The
second are the members of my household
I do not think you can argue that ahadeeth from Aysha are less reliable just because she is a woman. Noble ladies like Fatima and Zaynab have been important in teaching Islam. Rather than considering gender, we must look at the character of the narrators involved.

I don't agree with you about women testimony being half(I don't want to talk about it now)but about Aisha's hadith,well some of the hadith that is referred to her ,is only referred to her,I mean no other person has heard that from the prophet,like the ones that say I was the prophets favorite wife and so,I you do some research in Bokhari and mainly the sehah,you would easily come to this conclusion that she just made lots of hadith from her self, it's just to obvious.

Sad to break your heart but it is not true that women's testimony is half in Islam.
There are roles for men and women in Islam and there are cases when ONLY a woman can testify.

I wish I could have a real answer for you . But definetively this religion is only trouble maker and irespectul. they dont respect women in any way and they dont respect other people thoughts 'as god wanted that way' and they justrify always their ignorance or inustice with this argument.
And eventhough all religions have funny things on them are they are all created by men against women..this one has been the most dangerous i think!
