Are there any verses in the Noble Qur'an that indicate the obligation to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Sunnahs of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) after him?

The Shaykh : Some questioners may ask and say: "Here you are mentioning these texts from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), so is there anything in the Noble Qur'an that points to these hadiths?" And if the hadiths alone are sufficient proof to place the Muslims on the straight path, we say the answer is: Yes, there is a verse in the Noble Qur'an that explicitly states: [An-Nisa 4:115], He said - the Exalted - : [An-Nisa 4:115] meaning: he opposes him and disputes with him. Then He added to that and said: [An-Nisa 4:115]. It was possible, especially since the Speaker is the Lord of the worlds - Blessed and Exalted is He - who is capable of everything, it was possible for the verse to be concise, for example, and far be it that it would be so, after Allah revealed it as you have heard. But to clarify the importance of this phrase: [An-Nisa 4:115] I say: It was possible for the verse to be as follows: "And whoever opposes the Messenger after the clear proof has come to him, We will turn him to what he has turned to and We will cast him into Hell, and evil is the destination." That is: without saying: [An-Nisa 4:115]. But we see that Allah - Mighty and Majestic - mentioned in the body of this verse this beautiful phrase: [An-Nisa 4:115]. So what is the wisdom? And what is the purpose of mentioning the path of the believers after mentioning the Messenger of the believers, and the error that necessitates the erring person to have the punishment of Hell is opposing the Messenger? This is sufficient, so what is the wisdom of His saying - Mighty and Majestic - : [An-Nisa 4:115]? The answer - and this is a very important matter, and due to its importance, most people have not realized the importance of this part of this noble verse - is that the evidences in the Book and the Sunnah for jurisprudential issues are four: the Noble Qur'an, the authentic Sunnah, the consensus of the Muslims, and clear, obvious, valid analogical reasoning. So what is the evidence for the consensus of the Muslims? It is this verse. So when our Lord - Mighty and Majestic - said: [An-Nisa 4:115], that means the consensus of the Muslims. And the first consensus that can be realized, established, and known with clear and obvious knowledge is the consensus of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), to the extent that some scholars did not recognize any consensus except the consensus of the Companions. This is because the Muslims afterwards dispersed across the vast regions of the lands. This phrase from this noble verse, Allah - Mighty and Majestic - established by it that it is obligatory for the Muslims to follow the path of the believers. Now, does the path of the believers contradict the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)? Or is it something in addition to the Book and the Sunnah? The answer is: It is neither this nor that. So what is the benefit of mentioning the path of the believers in this verse? The path of the believers is the clarification of the meaning that came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.
وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًاAnd whoever opposes the Messenger
وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَand follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًاand follows other than the way of the believers
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَand follows other than the way of the believers
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَand follows other than the way of the believers
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَand follows other than the way of the believers
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَand follows other than the way of the believers
وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
