Is there a way to establish the Sunnah other than the chain of narration of the hadith?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have a question: Is there a way to establish the Sunnah other than the chain, other than the chain of narration of the hadith? Is there a way to establish the Sunnah other than the chain, other than the chain of narration of the hadith?
The Shaykh : They rely, as you mentioned earlier, on reason. They rely on reason, and this is one of the wonders of what we hear from some people, including these people of the Tahrir Party. What did the poet say: "Reason is of two kinds: innate and acquired." So which reason do they want, first? When they say, first, there is innate reason and there is acquired reason. Second, the minds of people differ greatly. So is it valid to refer to reason? This is one of the wonders of what they say. My answer, naturally: No, there is no recourse for knowing the Sunnah except the path of transmission, which the people of the Sunnah and the people of hadith have served. May Allah reward them for Islam with the best.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, truly.
The Shaykh : Do you want to say something?
The student : I had a confirmation of your words. I want to ask the professor about the fact that the Quranists themselves differ in degree, meaning in accepting the Sunnah and rejecting it, and accepting the hadith or rejecting it. Meaning, they are not on the same level, are they?
The questioner : Yes, that is so.
The student : This is a confirmation of what our Shaykh has graciously said.
