The question

What is the reality of the claim made by those who assert that Islamic history and the Sunnah of the Prophet are fabricated or contain hidden truths, and that the Shiites write history and the biography with a greater degree of accuracy than the Sunnis, even though they deny their affiliation with Shiism and detest it, and do not refer to Bukhari and Ibn Kathir, and argue that the six narrators of Hadith are not Arabs?

The answer

The scholars devoted great attention to the Prophetic Hadith because it is the second source of legislation. The Companions preserved it, and then it was compiled into books, and its authentic narrations were distinguished from its weak ones. Among the most prominent of these efforts are Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.

As for books of history and biographies, they contain both authentic and weak reports. Some scholars, such as Ibn Jarir al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, took great care in scrutinizing these reports.
