Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the Prophetic Sunnah fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hijr 15:9] Is the Sunnah a form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah)?
Answer:
No, it appears, and Allah knows best, that this verse refers specifically to the Qur'an. However, the Sunnah falls under[An-Najm 53:3-4], and under the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Hashr 59:7], and under the saying of Allah the Exalted: [An-Nahl 16:44]. The Sunnah is an explanation of the Qur'an, an interpretation of the Qur'an, and it is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the Prophetic Sunnah fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَAnswer:
No, it appears, and Allah knows best, that this verse refers specifically to the Qur'an. However, the Sunnah falls under
(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; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُواAnd We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them
وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ
