Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the one who says that most of the Sunnah is revelation, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) erred in the means of da'wah, so his Lord corrected him and disciplined him, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those below him are not to be accepted in their statements unless with a sound argument? What is the ruling on this statement and on studying under this condition?

This is ugly speech, bad speech, and it is not permissible to listen to it or remain silent about it. It diminishes the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said of him:

[An-Najm 53:3-4]

But as for matters of the Shari'ah, these are based on revelation from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and there is no
(3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
[An-Najm 53:3-4]
Yes.
