Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the understanding of a Companion given precedence over his statement and narration?
Answer:
Yes, without doubt. They are more knowledgeable about the meanings of the hadiths. Therefore, the interpretation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is given precedence, then the interpretation of a Companion, then the interpretation of a Successor, because they are more knowledgeable than others. Yes.
