Verily, in following his (ﷺ) Sunnah is the perfection of blamelessness and the accumulation of generosity whose light cannot be extinguished and its proofs cannot be disproved. Whoever adheres to it is safeguarded and whoever opposes it is blamed and censured. It [the Sunnah] is the fortified fortress and the strong pillar which explains his excellence and strengthens his rope. Whoever adheres to it prevails and whoever desires to oppose it perishes; so the ones who cling to it are the people in this life.
