«فإذا صحت عندك روايتهم عن رسول الله ﷺ يكون العمل بروايتهم أولى من العمل بالقياس»
Once the narration of such juristically competent transmitters is established, their report takes precedence over analogy.
Qiyas extends a ruling from a known case to another through a common legal cause. A transmitted Prophetic report is a different form of proof. In the described Hanafi analysis, juristic competence reduces the risk that the transmitter misunderstood the legal point.
If analogy suggests one conclusion about prayer while an established report from a jurist-Companion indicates another, this approach privileges the report—but only after establishing its transmission and correctly locating the legal issue.
