Learn the Sunnah by studying its sources. We must study the hadith and
strive to understand them correctly
Abu Rafi’ radiallahu anhu reported that Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu alaihe wasallam said, “Let me
not see anyone reclining on his couch (arrogantly) when something from me comes to him of what I
have commanded to do or disallowed to do, and he says: I know not; what we find in the Qur’an is
only what we will follow.”
56
Follow the Sunnah in its entirety, giving priority to what we are obliged to do
Abdullah ibn Umar radiallahu anhu reported that Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu alaihe wasallam said,
“None of you can be (true) believer unless his desire become subservient to what I have brought (of
guidance and teachings)”.
57
Dislike the actions of those who defame the Prophet Sallallahu alaihe
wasallam or disapprove of his Sunnah
Miqdam ibn Ma’dikarib reported that Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu alaihe wasallam said, “Beware! I
have been given by Allah the Qur’an for guidance and with it something like it also. Beware! Soon
some satiated people (will arise) who sitting (comfortably) on their glorious couch will say to the
people, “Keep to the Qur’an alone. What it has made lawful, treat it as lawful, and what it has
declared as unlawful treat it as unlawful (for only that is lawful and unlawful what the Qur’an has
described. Nothing else.” Reciting this misleading concept, the Prophet Sallallahu alaihe wasallam
added), “The turn is that whatever Allah’s Messenger has declared as unlawful is just like that which
Allah has declared unlawful in the Qur’an.”
