2107 وإن ما حرم رسول الله كما حرم الله
What the Messenger of Allah has made unlawful is the same as what Allah has made unlawful

عن المقدام بن معدِيْكَرِب قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (ألا هل عسى رجلٌ يبلغه الحديث عني وهو متكئ على أريكته فيقول: بيننا وبينكم كتاب الله، فما وجدنا فيه حلالًا استحللناه، وما وجدنا فيه حرامًا حرمناه. وإن ما حرم رسول الله كما حرم الله).

Al-Miqdām ibn Ma‘di Karib said: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Lo! Soon a Hadith from me will be conveyed to a man, while he is reclining on his couch, and he says: ‘Between us and you is Allah’s Book. So whatever we find in it that is lawful, we consider lawful, and whatever we find in it that is unlawful, we consider it unlawful.’ Indeed whatever the Messenger of Allah made unlawful, it is the same as what Allah made unlawful.’”

صحيح - ( رواه أبو داود والترمذي وابن ماجه ). Sahih/Authentic. [Ibn Maajah]

يخبر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن صنف من الناس لا يعظِّمون حديثه صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومنهم من لا يحتج بسنته ولا يرفع بها رأسًا، وأن الواحد منهم يصل إليه حديثٌ من أحاديثه عليه الصلاة والسلام، وهو متكئ على سريره فيرُّده ويقول: بيننا وبينكم القرآن، فما وجدنا فيه حلالًا استحللناه، وما وجدنا فيه حرامًا حرمناه، فهو لا يعمل ولا يصدق بما بلغه من أحاديث ويجعل مصدره الوحيد بزعمه القرآن الكريم، ولو عمِل بالقرآن لالتزم بالسنة؛ لأن القرآن أمر بطاعة النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام، والذين نقلوا لنا السنة هم الذين نقلوا لنا القرآن، وأخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن ما حرم الله وحرم رسوله سواء، وأن تحريم الرسول من تحريم الله، لأنه هو المبلغ عن الله عز وجل، وما ينطق عن الهوى عليه الصلاة والسلام.
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is telling about a type of people who do not pay due respect to his Hadīth, and some of them do not believe or even cherish that his Sunnah can be used as supportive proof of a given issue. A Hadīth of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would be conveyed to one of them as he is reclining upon his sofa, so he rejects it and says: “What is between us and you is the Qur’an, whatever we find in it lawful, we consider lawful, and whatever we find in it unlawful, we consider it unlawful.” He does not act upon or believe in the Hadīths that he hears, considering the Qur’an to be the only source of legislation. In fact, were he to act upon the Qur’an, he would adhere to the Sunnah, since the Qur’an commands Muslims to obey the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Moreover, the Sunnah was conveyed to us by those who conveyed the Qur’an. In addition, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) told us that what is made unlawful by Allah is the same as what is made unlawful by His Messenger (may Allah’ peace and blessings be upon him), since he is the one who conveys the message of His Lord, and he does not speak out of his own inclination.

تعظيم حديث رسول الله عليه الصلاة السلام، وتعظيم أوامره ونواهيه. أن ذلك من تعظيم القرآن الكريم. ما حرم رسول الله عليه الصلاة والسلام فهو من تحريم الله. مخالفة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كمخالفة الله تعالى. أن مَن أعرض عن السُّنَّة وادعى الاقتصار على القرآن معرضٌ عنهما جميعًا كاذبٌ في دعوى اتباع القرآن.
It urges holding the Hadīth of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in great esteem and respecting his commands and prohibitions. Doing this is part of holding the Qur’an in great esteem. What the Messenger of Allah (may Al
