Question:
He says: There is a person who says, "I follow the Qur'an, but I do not follow the hadiths, because I do not know whether they are authentic or..."

Answer:
This is a lie. The Qur'an is a lie for the one who says he follows it, because Allah says:
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain fromوَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا
[Al-Hashr 59:7]
and He says:
And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah.وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
[An-Nisa 4:64]
and He says: "And obey Allah and obey the Messenger." It is a lie for the one who claims to believe in the Qur'an. Yes.
