Authenticity of ahadeeth is a different issue than having different hadeeth number based on different books published by different publishers in various countries. BUT the content of a particular Hadeeth never changes. Regarding authenticity of Hadeeth, Alhumdolillah, muhadiseen has done enormous work in this field to identify the fake hadeeth. Islam360 App has done a wonderful job to digitalize all major hadeeth book with the classification of "Sahih" and "Zaeef". It seems that most of the fake hadeeth were inducted by Shia narrators who wanted gain "Sawab" because of their "Batil" aqeeda of Taqiyyah, where they get sawab in return of spreading false believes.WHY DO I HAVE TO CHECK ANY RANDUM SITE WHICH SAYS IT IS OKAY AND HOW DO I SAY THAT SITE IS AUTHENTIC ? MY POINT IS IF SOME THING IS DOUBTFUL WHY EVEN KNOCK THERE ? WHY CAN'T WE READ, UNDERSTAND AND RELY ON QURAN, THE BOOK FROM ALLAH WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS? THE BOOK THAT IS BROUGHT BY PROPHET P.B.U.H, READ SEERAT AN NABI , AND FOLLOW SUNAT E NABI.
AHADITHS HAVE CREATED MANY DIFFERENCES AND DIFFERENT FACTORS JUST BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO CONFIRM THEM.
I WOULD PREFER TO STICK TO QURAN AND TAKE IT'S AUTHENTICITY INSTEAD OF AHADITHS WHERE I HAVE TOCHECK IF IT IS CORRECT OR NOT.
As far as relying only on Qur'an and discard all the corpus of hadeeth is your decision. If you prefer that way. It is still fine as long as long as you follow the basic requirements of Deen and are able to perform Islamic rituals as prescribed by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
