What is the response to those who cast aspersions on the imams of hadith?

Question:
He says: And this man also causes people to doubt the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), where he says: I do not doubt al-Bukhari and Muslim, but those who took from them may have lied to the Messenger, or altered the meaning of the hadith, or something similar to that. What is your esteemed response to this person and his like? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
And so the Sunnah is preserved. Allah has provided for it its critics, who clarified the errors, lies, and mistakes that occurred in it. And Allah provided for it imams from among the Companions and those after them until they preserved it. Allah the Exalted and Majestic says: Your companion has not gone astray, nor has he erred, nor does he speak from desire. [Surah al-Najm: 1-3]. So preserving the Book is preserving the Sunnah. Preserving the Sunnah is part of preserving the Book, because it is the explanation of the Qur'an, the clarification of its meaning, and the elucidation of what is ambiguous in it. Therefore, the one who preserved the Qur'an preserved the Sunnah. His preservation of the Qur'an is due to the saying of Allah the Exalted and Majestic: [Surah al-Hijr: 9]. This is preservation of the Sunnah. For this reason, it reached us through al-Bukhari, Muslim, and other imams of knowledge, preserved and sound, through the trustworthy narrators from the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And Allah provided for it imams in the era of the Companions, the Tabi'un, the generation after the Tabi'un, and those after them, who clarified the authentic from the defective, the weak, the fabricated, and the invented. And they clarified the men: their trustworthy ones, those among them with poor memory, the liar, and the one with negligence, among other things. So they made clear everything related to the authenticity of the hadith, its preservation, and the clarification of the weak and fabricated hadith. So, by the praise of Allah, no doubt remains for one who doubts.
