Sunnah and Hadeeth
The Sunnah refers to the
commands, prohibitions, sayings, actions and tacit approvals of the Messenger of
Allaah (صلى
الله عليه وسلم). The whole
of the Sunnah falls under the command of Allaah in His Book:
"Whatsoever the Messenger gives you then take it and
whatsoever he prohibits you from then refrain from it."
[Sooratul-Hashr 59:7]
The taabi’ee, Imaam az-Zuhree said:
"Clinging to the Sunnah is to be saved, as Imaam
Maalik said, ‘like the Ark of Nooh.’ He who embarked upon it was saved and he
who did not was destroyed." [ad-Daarimee]
The knowledge of the Sunnah has reached us via means of the hadeeth of the
Messenger of Allaah
(صلى الله عليه وسلم).
The hadeeth refers to a combination of a text and a chain of narration (isnaad)
beginning from the Prophet
(صلى الله عليه وسلم)
and ending at the scholar who recorded that hadeeth. There are a number of
conditions that the hadeeth must meet based upon which it is divided into two
broad categories saheeh (authentic) and da’eef (weak). The authentic hadeeth is
that hadeeth from which beliefs and legislation can be derived. The weak hadeeth
does not allow us to derive beliefs or legislation from it.
