وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
We sent down the Reminder to you so that you might explain to people what was revealed to them, and so that they might reflect. (Al-Naḥl 16:44)

The Prophet's teaching, practical demonstration and reliably transmitted Sunnah are indispensable resources for understanding revelation. Certain rulings and modes of practice become clear through prophetic explanation.

Reports attributed to him must nevertheless be weighed according to their reliability and relevance. Fame alone does not turn a report into decisive evidence.
