Muhammad is not to be worshiped/follwed...he said so himself. Only god has to be followed and quran is the word of god so only quran has to be followed.In Islamic terminology, the term hadith refers to reports of statements or actions of Muhammad, or of his tacit approval of something said or done in his presence.Traditions of the life of Muhammad and the early history of Islam were passed down mostly orally for more than a hundred years after Muhammad's death in AD 632. Muslim historians say that Caliph Uthman ibn Affan (the third khalifa (caliph) of the Rashidun Empire, or third successor of Muhammad, who had formerly been Muhammad's secretary), is generally believed to urge Muslims to record the hadith just as Muhammad suggested to some of his followers to write down his words and actions. Therefore if a muslim man or women follow it its good rather than arguing on laws or teaching principles of Islam.
Like i said hadith is not compulsory only the quran is.
