Question:
What is the ruling on one who says that the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is human thought?
Answer:
This is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and a rejection of the religion of Islam. The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is not thought, but rather it is revelation from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Allah the Exalted said:[An-Najm 53:3-4] So the Sunnah is revelation, not thought. And He the Exalted said: [Al-Hashr 59:7] [Al-Hashr 59:7].

Answer:
This is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and a rejection of the religion of Islam. The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is not thought, but rather it is revelation from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Allah the Exalted said:
(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 يُوحَىٰAnd whatever the Messenger has given you - take
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُand what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
