"The Sunna is the first subsidiary source (
) after the Qur'an among the sources of Islamic law.

The Qur'an commanded us to follow the messenger of Allah: therefore we follow the messenger of Allah."
Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Sàid Ibn Mulla Ramadan al-Buti
"The meaning of the expression Binding Proof of the Sunnah is that the Sunna points to the judgment of Allah Most High, either as definitive knowledge ('
