(Clarifying that the words and deeds of the Messenger of Allah are the primary source, taking precedence over the words of the Shaykhs and scholars) And make them the ruling, and do not judge what is in them by the words of so-and-so
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And make them the ruling, and do not judge *** what is in them at all by the words of so-and-so"
Truly, make what is in the two Sahihs the primary source, and do not judge them by the words of so-and-so and so-and-so, thereby making them followers rather than those who are followed.
"And make his statement" the statement of whom? The statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). "Like some of the statements of the *** Shaykhs, defending it at all times"
This is a concession. Make the statement of the Messenger like some of the statements of the Shaykhs, whereas it is obligatory to place it above the statements of all the Shaykhs. But this is in the category of concession, saying, "At least give them some of it." And whom is he addressing? He is addressing those who prioritize the statements of the Shaykhs over the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
"And defend his statement as you defend the one *** you followed without any proof"
That is, defend the statement of the Messenger as you defend the one you followed, and you follow him without proof. But if you follow the Messenger, you follow him with what? With proof. Yes.
