-=[Are Hadiths a Misguidance?]
It seems like Dr. Shadee would like you to believe that this was the case.
Unfortunately, for him, he was unable to provide any evidence that the scholars of the past said this. More importantly, their actions prove the opposite!

The statements that he's been sharing that are attributed to Ibn Uyayna and Ibn Wahb all suffer from severe disconnections.
These come in the form of disconnected reports from Ibn Abi Zayd, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdadi, and Al-Qadhi `Iyadh.

I recently saw him correctly rejecting the statement of Abu Hanifa and Malik that "if the hadith is authentic, then it is my madhhab."
I was hoping that Dr. Shadee would stick to his standards and not accept disconnected reports that were attributed to scholars of the past.

The scholars of the past used to teach hadiths openly. If hadith was a misguidance, then why would they teach laymen hadiths?
Sufyan bin Uyayna started collecting hadiths when he was 10 according to Al-Ramahurmuzi. Was his knowledge tested by teachers before accepting him?

It was common practice for a scholar to enter a town and be surrounded by students asking for hadith. Would they test the knowledge of everyone before teaching them? Examples like Abu Bakr bin Ayyash and Al-Bukhari come to mind.
This was not the case. Hadiths were taught to all.

What did Sufyan say about the hadiths of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?
"It is better than a jewel! Better than a pearl! Better than a ruby! Better than all the Dunya!" (Al-Muhadith Al-Fasil 1/587)
He didn't say, "It is a misguidance," but taught hadiths to all!

If hadith is a misguidance, then what about the Qur'an? Is it a misguidance too? Everyone knows that the hadith is clearer than the Qur'an.
Of course, the conflict with what Allah says, "The month of Ramadan, in which the Qur'an was revealed, a GUIDANCE to man..." 2:185

What is the solution ya Dr. Shadee? Should books of hadith be burned since laymen have access to them? Should Darrusalam be boycotted for translating hadiths into English since you claim that they are a misguidance?
Is every hadith clear? No.
Am I saying that we don't need scholars? No.
But to claim that hadith is a misguidance is a terrible view to hold and the Ulama of the Salaf are free from such a statement.

Can a layperson benefit from hadith?
Of course! What kind of religion would Islam be if knowledge was only accessible to the clergy?
Pope Innocent III declared translator of the Bible as heretics. I hope we won't see the same in Islam.

Finally, a very very important thread by @AboYahyaAM:
@AboYahyaAM Oh! Here's a little report for those of you that might argue that Sufyan was a boy genius, and was an exception.
In reality, he had terrible grammar at least until the age of 15... and yet, he was still taught hadiths!
