The great jurist al-Shafi\u2019i said: \u201cGod mentions the Book, which is the Quran.\u00a0 I have heard from people who I consider authorities on the Quran that the Wisdom is the Sunnah of God\u2019s Messenger.\u201d\u00a0 God says:<br \/>Indeed, God conferred a great favor on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His signs and purifying them and instructing them in the Book and the Wisdom.<br \/>It is clear from the preceding verses that God revealed to His Prophet both the Quran and the Sunnah, and that He commanded him to convey both to the people.\u00a0 The Prophetic hadeeth also attest to the fact that the Sunnah is revelation.\u00a0 It is related from Mak\u2019hool that God\u2019s Messenger said:<br \/>\u201c<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">God gave me the Quran and what is like it from the Wisdom.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/>Al-Miqdam b. Ma\u2019dee Karab relates that God\u2019s Messenger said:<br \/>\u201cI have been given the Book and with it something like it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/>Hisan b. Atiyyah relates that Gabriel used to come the Prophet with the Sunnah just like he would come to him with the Quran.<br \/>An opinion from the Prophet was not merely his own thoughts or deliberations on a matter; it was what God revealed to him.\u00a0 In this way, the Prophet was different from other people.\u00a0 He was supported by revelation.\u00a0 When he exercised his own reasoning and was correct, God would confirm it, and if he ever made a mistake in his thinking, God would correct it and guide him to the truth.<br \/>For this reason, it is related that the Caliph Umar said from the pulpit: \u201cO people!\u00a0 The opinions of God\u2019s Messenger were correct only because God would reveal them to him.\u00a0 As for our opinions, they are nothing but thoughts and conjecture.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><strong>The revelation that the Prophet received was of two types<\/strong><\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><strong>A<\/strong>. Informative revelation: God would inform him of something by means of revelation in one form or another as mentioned in the following Quranic verse:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #008000;\">It is not for a human being that God should speak to him except as revelation or from behind a barrier, or by sending a Messenger who reveals by His leave whatever He wishes.\u00a0 Verily, He is Exalted, All-Wise.<\/span>\u201d (Quran 42:51)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/>Aishah related that al-Harith b. Hisham asked the Prophet how revelation came to him, and the Prophet answered:<br \/>\u201cSometimes, the angel comes to me like the clanging of a bell, and this is the most difficult for me. It weighs upon me and I commit to memory what he says.\u00a0 And sometimes the angel comes to me in the form of a man and speaks to me and I commit to memory what he says.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Aishah said:<br \/>\u201c<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">I had seen him when the revelation came to him on an extremely cold day. When it was over, his brow was full of perspiration.\u201d<br \/>Sometimes, he would be asked about something, but he would remain silent until revelation came to him.\u00a0 For example, the Meccan pagans asked him about the soul, but the Prophet remained silent until God revealed:<br \/>They ask you concerning the soul<\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> Say: \u2018<span style=\"color: #008000;\">The soul is from the affairs of my Lord, and of knowledge you have but little<\/span>\u2019. <strong>(Quran 17:85)<\/strong><br \/>He had also been asked about how inheritance was to be divided, but he did not answer until God revealed:<br \/>\u201c<span style=\"color: #008000;\">God commands you regarding your children\u2026<\/span>\u201d <strong>(Quran 4:11)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><\/strong><br \/><strong>B<\/strong>. Affirmative revelation: This is where the Prophet exercised his own judgment in a matter.\u00a0 If his opinion was correct, revelation would come to him affirming it, and if it was incorrect, revelation would come to correct him, making it just like any other informative revelation.\u00a0 The only difference here is that the revelation came as a result of an action that the Prophet first did on his own.<br \/>In such instances, the Prophet was left to use his own discretion in a matter.\u00a0 If he chose what was right, then God would confirm his choice through revelation.\u00a0 If he chose wrong, God would correct him to protect the integrity of the faith.\u00a0 God would never allow His Messenger to convey an error to other people, because this would cause his followers to fall into error as well.\u00a0 This would contravene the wisdom behind sending Messengers, which was that the people henceforth would have no argument against God.\u00a0 In this way, the Messenger was protected from falling into error, for if he ever erred, revelation would come to correct him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/>The Prophet\u2019s Companions knew that the tacit approval of the Prophet was actually the approval of God, because if they ever did something contrary to Islam during the Prophet\u2019s lifetime, revelation would come down condemning what they did.<br \/>Jabir said: \u201cWe used to practice coitus interruptus back when God\u2019s Messenger was alive.\u201d\u00a0 Sufyan, one of the narrators of this hadeeth, commented: \u201cIf something like this was forbidden, the Quran would have prohibited it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Sunnah?
