Question:
Does the one who says that the hadiths are probable in their establishment, the ahad hadiths, and does not act upon them, fall under the warning of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Yes, he falls under the warning of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because their intention in this is bad. Their intention is to prioritize the proofs of logic and the science of theology, making them the standard for the hadiths. This is their intention. They say that the proofs of logic are definitive, while the proofs of the ahad hadiths are probable, so they prioritize the definitive over the probable. The opposite is the truth: the hadiths are definitive, and the rules of logic are probable because they are invented and human work, so they err and hit the mark. As for the Sunnah, it never errs; if it is authentic, it does not err; it is protected from error. Yes.
