Listen to why Imam Malik who narrated many Hadith with him self in the chain of narrations, but did not act upon the Hadith himself, rather he followed the people of Madinah. Same goes for Imam Abu Hanifa who narrated many Hadith but acted upon the practices of the Sahaba and Tabieen.

1000 from 1000 is beter than 1 from 1.

1000 peoples actions from 1000 peoples actions are better than 1 Hadith narrated from 1 person to another person.
