    Assalamualaikum

    (If i am right). That books on which Muslims rely much on like Muwatta Imam Malik,Bukhari, Muslim,Tabari,Ibn Kaseer and so on, these books are narrated by one or two or even 10s and some times there is a difference of words among these narrations also. So if that is right then how can we rely on them which are narrated by such small amount?

    In Farahi Discourse, such a question cannot arise. Since religion is preserved completely in Quran and Sunnah, therefore, no Hadith book can have an impact on that religion. Whatever falls within ambit of this religion (i.e. Quran and Sunnah), will be accepted and whatever negates that, will be referred back to the narrator.

    Ghamidi Sahab is of view that Hadith collection happened in a natural way, how sayings of big personalities are initially transmitted orally among people and are written down later at some point, which in this case was no other than Last Prophet himself (SWS).

    As a matter of Principle, Ahadith and/or separate incidents and individual reports are not a source of any law, because of certain inherent limitations with their nature of transmission, they are to be understood in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

    Yes but Ghamidi sahab also accepts these Ahadith and accepts these principles by Muhaddathin as perfect for it? Maybe not a basic source (Quran and Sunnah) to prove religion but following this basic source in it’s explaination he put forward Hadith which we have got by lines of one or evens 10s of persons?
