Another Hadith Rant

Sooo. . . Apparently, hadiths were not allowed to be recorded (written) in the beginning, so they would NOT BE CONFUSED with the Qur'an. 


Explain this to me (this is actually from a hadith):


"Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Do not take down anything from me, and he who took down anything from me except the Qur'an, he should efface that and narrate from me. . ." (Book 042, Number 7147 - Sahih Muslim) 


How absolutely curious! Does this not explicitly say "do not take down anything from me. . . except the Qur'an?" Now, why would it be prohibited to write anything, lest it not be confused with the Qur'an, if, as most Muslims agree, they are to be regarded equally as important and to be followed with the same vigor? 


"Muslim historians say that it was the caliph Uthman (the third caliph, or successor of Muhammad, who had formerly been Muhammad's secretary), who first urged Muslims both to write down the Qur'an in a fixed form, and to write down the hadith." (History of hadith)


So 3 successors later, these were recorded via written word? Again, hmm. 


"Say: 'Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? - when He it is Who has sent to you the Book, explained in detail.'" (Qur'an, 6:114) 


As you can see, it's doesn't say, "explained in part (see hadiths for more info)." Probably the most convincing of evidence is that the Qur'an actually states that nothing has been left out of the Qur'an (6:38)! Does one need more than that?


"The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the hearer, the knower". Sura 6:114
