Question:
The Shaykh’s point is that we should say that the Sunnah was revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), in that it is diverse.
Answer:
There is no doubt in this; there is no doubt that the Sunnah was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah the Exalted said:[An-Najm 53:3-4] This indicates that the Sunnah is a revelation from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: “And We revealed to you” [An-Nisa 4:113] and the wisdom is the Sunnah, so this indicates that the Sunnah was revealed from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
