From some time i am worried about the difference of our four sects of Ahlel-sunnah. And i am also rightly told that it is just because of hadith.So one way to search for the right path is to just read the hadith preferable to my school of thought. But sticking on with this method i would also like to read some thing about Ilme hadith.Can you saggest me any of qualitative objective book which,ll enable me to know about those standards through which we say a hadith is preferable or more trustable. Allah hafiz.
