Question:
By my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Companions, the statement of the Companion is authoritative.
Answer:
Regarding the authority of the statement of the Companions, specifically the Caliphs: this is established, provided it does not contradict the Sunnah. The Sunnah takes precedence. However, the meaning of a clear Sunnah is that it is said to contradict the statement of the Rightly Guided Caliphs in a matter where there is no evidence.
