Prioritizing the Prophet's speech over his actions and the Prophetic characteristics

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. A questioner says: Who prioritizes the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) over his actions? And when do we say that something is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and not to others?

Answer:
This is a matter of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence), my brother. The speech of the Messenger and the actions of the Messenger are both Sunnah, except for what belongs to his specific characteristics (peace and blessings be upon him). This is known by referring to the books of usul al-fiqh. Yes.
