So do you prefer "Scriptures" to "Bible", since not all Bibles consist of the same set of books?
Nope. "The Bible" is the Protestant Bible. "The Bible with the Apocrypha" is the Catholic Bible. This is because I am a Protestant, and the definition of "Bible" is a pretty key part of my religion.
Also, I consider "scripture" to be a generic word meaning "holy text"; the Koran is a scripture, but not Scripture. (The capital makes it holy to me.)
On the specific topic, I will have to let mollpeartree tell me if the various Hadiths overlap as much as the various Bibles.
