«واعلم أن خبر رسول الله ﷺ بمنزلة الكتاب في حق لزوم العلم والعمل به»
Know that the Messenger’s report is comparable to the Book with respect to the obligation of knowledge and practice.
The fundamental point is the authority of guidance truly established from the Prophet ﷺ. Whether a particular report is authentically connected to him is an additional inquiry.
«إلا أن الشبهة في باب الخبر في ثبوته من رسول الله ﷺ واتصاله به»
However, doubt concerning reports can arise over their establishment from the Prophet ﷺ and their transmission connection to him.
