Honouring the Sunnah is by fulfilling the commands
within it and staying away from prohibitions without having doubt in it.
“And whatsoever
the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you,
abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment” [al-Hasr 59:7]
Therefore we can’t worship Allaah except with
what the [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] has instructed us with. So
any act of worship a slave wants to do then they are absolutely reliant upon
the Sunnah. Without this we cannot act and if one does do an act without Prophetic
guidance, then they have fallen into innovation (a major sin).
“Or
have they partners with Allaah (false gods) who have instituted for them a
religion which Allaah has not ordained?”[al-Shoora 42:21]
“Whoever does an action that is not
in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2697; Muslim, 1718).
Al-Tirmidhi narrated from Imaam
Ahmad ibn Hanbal from the hadeeth of al-‘Irbaad ibn Saariyah that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my
Sunnah and the way of the Rightly-Guided Khaleefahs. Adhere to it and bite onto
it with your back teeth (i.e., cling firmly to it). And beware of
newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is an innovation and
every innovation is a going-astray.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, al-Sunnah, 3991.
Al-Albaani said in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, no. 3851, it is saheeh)
