The Probativeness of the Sunna Hujjiyya al-Sunna

Allah promised to preserve the Quran for All time in this promise is also to preserve the sunnah of rasul allah since there are many versus in the Quran which ask us to follow Allah and his mesenger. If we were to hold the beliefe that the sunnah was not preserved then we would be negating these very comands from allah and hence saying Allah did not fulifil his promise or that we are not able to cary out what he himself has asked us to do ie follow the sunnah of rasul allah (salla llahu alaihi wa sallam)

Allah's Book is filled with verses that categorically denote the probativeness of the Sunna. These verses are at least five types, although a single verse can be of more than one type.

a) Verses that indicate the obligatoriness of believing in the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him --;

b) Verses that indicate that the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- elucidates the Book and explains its wisdom in a manner that carries authority on Allah's part;

c) Verses that indicate the obligatoriness of obeying the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- in absolute terms in whatever he orders and whatever he prohibits;

d) Verses that indicate the obligatoriness of following and imitating him in all that issues from him as being examplary so as to be loved by Allah;

e) Verses indicating that Allah has tasked him with following and conveying whatever is revealed to him whether in recitative (matlu) or non-recitative form.

"And We have revealed unto you the Remembrance that you may explain to mankind that which has been revealed for them, and that haply they may reflect" (16:44).

"And we have revealed the Scripture unto you only that you may explain unto them that wherein they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe" (16:64).

"The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers" (33:6).

You may not know this br but it is said that roughly 40% of shia hadith are outright fabrications, so please do not promote shia scholarship in an atempt to refute what the majority of muslims accept, That site is not reliable in any sence it misquotes and twists arguments to suit its ends like much of the shia literuture dealing with sunni beliefs i have not seen a scholarly analysis yet from our shia br's just more hatred for sahaba and the wives of the prophet.

We do not hold Shia islam as a fifth school of thought.

I remind you this is a sunni site please keep all posts which deal with shia and sunni dialogue to the relavent section.

Bismillah

The Shi'a discord, and rationale behind multi-layered approach to understanding the Messenger (peace be upon him) and the Message can be studied in an appropriate discussion.

There is no irony brother the shia rejected many companions and the prophets wives so we are talking about a very small ahadith colection nothing comparable to what the Sunni record is.

We reject "companions" as being more important than the Prophet's (PBUH) own BLOOD LINE.  How shameful of you that you don't.  The only accurate hadith is that of the Imam Ali (AS). The rest is rhetoric made up by sunni/salfi followers who are probably direct descendents of yazeed (LAUH).  Lies that have been carried through the generations steming from the murder of the Imam Husein (AS) and his family at Karbalah.  Bukhari is filled with inaccuracies. There is plenty of Sunni hadith and scholars who acknowledge the Ahl Elbeit's rightful position in Islam over "companions".  Stop spreading hate- how shameful of you to skew Islam.
