The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on those called the Quranists who deny the noble hadith and say, "We are content with the Qur'an alone"?
The Shaykh:
This is disbelief in Allah the Exalted, because the hadith is revelation from Allah the Exalted; it is the second revelation after the Qur'an.[An-Najm 53:3-4] So the words of the Messenger are revelation from Allah the Exalted; the wording is from the Messenger, but the meaning is from Allah the Exalted.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Hashr 59:7]. And this one says, "We do not take anything but the Qur'an." [Al-Hashr 59:7] Say: "No, we do not prevent you from taking it. What is this talk?" Yes.

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰThe questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُواAnd whatever the Messenger has given you - take
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ
