The Obligation Of Following The Sunnah by Lukgaf(m): 9:12am On Jan 26
This week, let's review the 27th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here

It was narrated on the authority of Abu Najih al-Irbad bin Sariyah (ra) who said:

"The Messenger of Allah (sas) delivered an admonition that made our hearts fearful and our eyes tearful. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is as if this were a farewell sermon, so advise us." He said, "I enjoin you to have Taqwa of Allah and that you listen and obey, even if a slave is made a ruler over you. He among you who lives long enough will see many differences. So for you is to observe my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-principled and rightly-guided successors, holding on to them with your molar teeth. Beware of newly-introduced matters, for every innovation (bid'ah) is an error."

(Abu Dawud & Al-Tirmidhi, who says it is an authentic hadith - hasan saheeh)

This hadith encourages believers to prioritize Taqwa, obedience to authority, adherence to the Sunnah, and caution against innovations. It serves as a timeless guide for navigating challenges within the Muslim community and maintaining a steadfast connection to the teachings of Islam.

Among its lessons include:

1. Importance of Taqwa (Allah-consciousness): The Prophet emphasizes the significance of maintaining Taqwa, fostering a conscious awareness of Allah in all aspects of life.

2. Obedience to Authority: Regardless of the qualities of a ruler, the hadith instructs believers to listen and obey their leaders, emphasizing the importance of stability and order in society.

3. Anticipation of Differences: The Prophet predicts the emergence of conflicts and differences within the Muslim community over time, highlighting the need for steadfastness and adherence to guidance.

4. Adherence to Sunnah: The hadith emphasizes the importance of following the Prophet's Sunnah (traditions) and those of the rightly-guided successors, highlighting their role as a source of guidance for the community.

5. Firm Commitment to Sunnah: The metaphorical expression "holding on to them with your molar teeth" underscores the seriousness and unwavering commitment required in adhering to the Sunnah.

6. Warning Against Innovations: The hadith warns against newly-introduced matters, categorizing them as errors. This emphasizes the need for caution and adherence to established traditions, discouraging the introduction of innovations in religious practices.
