Revelation
The Prophet’s sayings and actions were primarily based on revelation from Allaah
and, as such, must be considered a fundamental source of guidance second only to
the Qur’aan. Allaah in the Qur’aan said concerning the Prophet (r):
(Muhammad) does not speak from his desires; indeed, what he says
is revelation.”
(Soorah an-Najm, 53: 3-4)
Therefore, the hadeeth represents a personal source of divine guidance which
Allaah granted His Prophet (r) which was similar in its nature to the Qur’aan
itself. The Prophet (r) reiterated this point in one of his recorded statements,
“Indeed, I was given the Qur’aan and something similar to it along with it.”
