Accept the Sunnah with Full Submission

Points taken from the talk ‘How to Honour the Sunnah’
Shaykh Sa’d bin Naasir ash-Shithree [May Allaah Preserve him]

To accept the authentic texts when they come is a way to honour the Sunnah. One should not deny or have doubt in any of it. Rather the one who honours the Sunnah accepts what is authentic wholeheartedly with one’s head (i.e. intellect) and eyes (i.e. doubt), thus hearing and obeying without any restriction.

But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.”  [Nisaa 4:65]

Submitting (or at-Tasleem) means intention (in the Arabic language) but in this context it means a goal or a purpose. Therefore one’s Eeman can only be completed until they submit without any doubt or rejection.
