What you mean to say is that it is your opinion that the hadith are unreliable. Other Muslims disagree with you. Are you the arbiter of what are and are not reliable accounts of Mohammed? Wikipedia has this to say about it's authority: "Quranic verses (such as 24:54, 33:21) enjoin Muslims to emulate Muhammad and obey his judgements, providing scriptural authority for ahadith." In addition, there does not appear to be an early tradition of Quranic authority and accurate preservation as Muslims claim, with the first manuscript copies of the Quran dating to 200 years after the time of Mohammed. What exactly is your so-called premise of it being a heavenly revelation? It doesn't appear that such is even necessary for the hadith to have authority.
I came across an interesting argument while googling.
Quote:Premise 1: Either the Bible is the Word of God or it is not.
Premise 2: If the Bible is the Word of God, the Qur’an is not.
Premise 3: If the Bible is not the Word of God, the Qur’an is not.
Conclusion: Therefore, the Qur’an is not the Word of God.
