Continuation of the discussion on the question: Is it permissible to interpret the Qur'an by relying on language alone without referring to the Sunnah? How is the Qur'an interpreted?

The Shaykh : As for the one who clarifies, it is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is through his Sunnah, which is divided into three categories: his words (peace be upon him), his actions, or his approval. Whoever does not know his words (peace be upon him), his actions, and what he approved of seeing among the people, can never interpret the Qur'an, and he will make very grave errors. Indeed, some examples occurred during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the interpretation of His saying, the Exalted, was difficult for them. This is because they understood "injustice" here in an absolute sense, and in reality, no one after the prophets is protected from committing such absolute injustice. Therefore, they feared that this verse would include them, such that they would not be among the guided, because they had been afflicted with injustice. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: ليس الأمر هذا الذي تقولون ألم تقرأوا قول الله تبارك وتعالى وإذ قال لقمان لابنه وهو يعظه يا بني لا تشرك بالله إن الشرك لظلم عظيم It is not as you say. Have you not read the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: "And [mention] when Luqman said to his son while he was advising him: 'O my son, do not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association [with Him] is great injustice.'" Thus, the injustice mentioned in the first verse is the injustice mentioned in the other verse. If the interpretation of "injustice" in the first verse was difficult for the Companions of the Messenger (peace be upon him), then what is easier than this difficulty will be difficult for those who come after them. For this reason, it is necessary for every interpreter to be well-versed, to the extent of his ability, in the Sunnah in its three categories: his words (peace be upon him), his actions, and his approval. For this reason, we say that whoever subjects his opinion and intellect to understanding the Qur'an without seeking assistance from his Sunnah (peace and blessings be upon him) has strayed far from the path, even though he intended guidance. Other than that.
