You see, the Hadith is not the teachings of Mohammed PBUH, but "reports claiming to narrate Mohammed's words".
Every report is called a single "Hadith".
A "Hadith book" is a book containing these reports. There are thousands of reports and volumes upon volumes of "reports claiming to narrate Mohammed's words".
So technically, I denounce them because I simply trust no historical report told before 1400 years.
The reason you have "Sunni Islam" and "Shiite Islam" is these reports: some believe in a group of reports only, others believe in another group of reports.
While the Quran is the only admitted book to be the one and only revelation from God, while all the Hadiths are mere "reports" claiming that Mohammed said this or that in addition.
So I denounce the reports, and believe in the revelation only.
