We have no guarantee that between the 400 books and the 4 books that there weren’t things that were added/removed. To claim that it’s all sahih, or even that most of them are sahih is disproven by just choosing a random part of them and reading it. The “sahih” framework is extremely dangerous and we can see that in the Sunni school today. Once people become too scared to question a book, any illogical or evil hadith becomes canon. Lay people and scholars always stress on not rejecting a hadith because it might actually be authentic, but no one talks about the danger of accepting a hadith, that is not authentic, and committing the grave sin of attributing lies to God and his messenger. The fact that most probably, a lot of hadiths that exist today have tahreef in them does not invalidate our religion. It only takes a little bit of critical thinking and comparing against the Quran to sift through them.
