[[Hadith]], the supposed reports of the words, actions, and silent approval of the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]], are accused by some Muslims of being fabrications ([[pseudepigrapha]]) created in the 8th and 9th centuries AD, and falsely attributed to Muhammad.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://submission.org/Corruption_of_Religion.html|title=Hadith and the Corruption of the great religion of Islam {{!}} Submission.org - Your best source for Submission (Islam)|website=submission.org|access-date=2020-01-23}}</ref><ref name="Aisha Y.

However, Muslim criticism of hadith is also based on arguments and criticisms of Islamic theology and philosophy.

Traditionally, some sects of the [[Kharijites]] have rejected Hadith. There are some who even oppose the writing of Hadith for fear that it will compete with or even replace the Quran. [[Mu'tazilite]] followers also reject hadith as the basis for Islamic law, while simultaneously accepting the [[Sunnah]] and [[ijma]].<ref name="Sindima" /> For Mu'tazilites, the basic argument for rejecting hadith is that "because of its nature as the transmission of individuals, [it] cannot be a sure path to our understanding of the Prophet's teachings, unlike the Quran whose transmission has a general consensus among Muslims". Some Muslim critics of hadith have even gone so far as to completely reject them as fundamental texts of Islamic beliefs and instead adhere solely to [[Quran]]. This movement is also known as [[Quranism]].
