Quran Wa Sunnah
Saba sahiba, I think your confusion stems from the concept that the source of sunnah is hadeeth. This is not correct. Just like the Quran has been perpetually transmitted to us generation after generation through the consensus of the entire ummah and their qauli tawatur, the sunnah has been transmitted to us through the consensus of the entire ummah and their amali tawatur. Both have been protected through the exact same means – the only difference is that the Quran’s transmission naturally required qauli tawatur, while that of the sunnah required amali tawatur.
