Reasons that necessitated the collection and compilation of Hadith after the death of the Prophet (p.b.u.h)

Answers

samuel
Memorises of hadith were dying of old age thus it was feared that hadith would perish and thus it had to be compiled.
There was need to study hadith especially for the people who were not there during the time of the Prophet (p.b.u.h).
The compilation of the Quran was complete thus there was no fear of tampering with the purity of the Quran.
The Quran was already stored in people‘s memories and also copies circulated to the people.
There was need to compile Hadith so as to safeguard its purity and to avoid false hadith.
There was need to distinguish between authentic and weak hadith.
