No one has a say after the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); the proof is only in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And on this basis, no one has a say after the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and no human being can argue before Allah (Mighty and Majestic) on the Day of Resurrection with the saying of so-and-so or so-and-so, except with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). For the argument is established against a person by it, whereas the saying of anyone other than the Messenger will not benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. For this reason, Allah the Exalted says:
And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?" ويوم يناديهم فيقول ماذا أجبتم المرسلين
[Al-Qasas 28:65]
He did not say, "What did you answer so-and-so and so-and-so?" but rather He said, "What did you answer the messengers?" So what will be your answer on the Day of Resurrection if you are asked, "What did you answer my messenger regarding the obligation of zakah on jewelry?" And a general text and a specific text have come to you from him. What is the general text?

The questioner : The verse is
And those who hoard والذين يكنزون
.

The Shaykh : I said, "And a general text has come to you from him, meaning from the Messenger." How quickly you forget, O people! An Arab poet comes and recites a poem of fifty or a hundred verses, then he leaves, and the people memorize it from him once. But you do not memorize a simple hadith from the Messenger:
If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. ما من صاحب ذهب ولا فضة لا يؤدي منها حقها إلا إذا كان يوم القيامة صفحت له صفائح من نار وأحمي عليها في نار جهنم فيكوى بها جنبه وجبينه وظهره
Sahih Muslim 987a
