Hadeeth (pl. Ahadeeth): Is the record of the sayings,
actions, and silent approvals of the Prophet Muhammad  . These
sayings, actions, and silent approvals of the Prophet Muhammad constitute the Sunnah.
The Ahadeeth has come as a supplement to the Qur'an as a source of the
Islamic religious law. As the first point in the Creed of Imaam Al-Barbahaaree
states:
"Know
that Islaam is the Sunnah and the Sunnah is Islaam and one of them cannot be established
without the other"
[Explanation
of the Creed, pg 23]
And the Prophet
“He
who turns away from my Sunnah is not from me"
[Reported
by Al-Bukhaaree, Muslim, & an-Nasaa'ee]
Imaam Malik said:
"The
Sunnah is like the Ark
of Noah. Whoever embarks upon it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is
drowned"
[Quoted
by Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo ul-Fataawaa]
