The Shaykh :"Both are revelations that have guaranteed for us the highest of knowledge with the utmost clarity"
The pronoun "both" refers to the Book and the Sunnah. They are two revelations that have guaranteed for us the highest of knowledge with the utmost clarity. If someone were to say, "There is no doubt that the Qur'an is a revelation, but regarding the Sunnah being a revelation, we find some hadiths indicating that the Sunnah is not a revelation. For example, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Muwatta Malik 2:114 or with every ablution, with every prayer. This indicates that it is not a revelation, because if it were a revelation, to whom would the command belong? To Allah. And he said regarding the 'Isha' prayer: Sahih Muslim 638c and This also indicates that it is not a revelation, because revelation is complete. The important point is that there are hadiths indicating that the Sunnah is not a revelation from Allah. So what is the answer? We say: The scholars stated that the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) approval of something is part of his Sunnah. His approval of something is like a revelation, like a revelation, because Allah approves what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said as being legislation. If something occurred from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Allah did not approve it, He clarified it to him, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:43] And as in His saying: [At-Tahrim 66:1] The important point is that the answer to this objection is to say: What occurred among the hadiths whose apparent meaning is that it is not a revelation, it is a revelation in another sense. What is that? Allah's approval of it. As the scholars said, the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) approval of something is considered part of the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Good.
