Importance Of Hadith In Sunnah And Overall Islam
A simple rule of thumb to identify sunnah (practices of Prophet saw) is that it is amli tawatur which is accepted by ijma across all Muslims (not a certain aqeedah only). Also, if ANYONE was going to do something against an established Sunnah it will be thrown out/disapproved instantly by consenses For example, if someone says to pray 4 rakat farz in Maghreb or start doing sehri at Zohar, that would need no quran or Hadith to substantiate its inaccuracy. Although many people think they can show Ahadith to prove otherwise, but absent Hadith books the argument will still fall flat, meaning sunnah is not practiced because of Ahadith but amli tawatur. As a result, even without Ahadith, It would automatically be rejected by the masses. This is the beauty of sunnah! It stands as an independent source and is accepted without being dependent on Quran/Ahadith.
