The ruling on one who takes the Qur'an without the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Correct, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who says he takes the Qur'an without the Sunnah, or the reverse? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
So there is a liar. If he took the Qur'an, he would take the Sunnah, because the Qur'an contains
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain fromوَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا
[Al-Hashr 59:7]
and it contains
Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
[An-Najm 53:3]
It is not but a revelation revealed,إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
[An-Najm 53:4]
and it contains
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messengerوَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ
[An-Nisa 4:69]
. It did not say to obey Allah only, but to obey Allah and the Messenger, and it contains
He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allahمَّن يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ
[An-Nisa 4:80]
. So they did not take the Qur'an. If they left the Sunnah, they did not take the Qur'an. This is a lie.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
