The People of Sunnah Are the People of Ḥadīth

Al-ʿAllāmah Ṣāliḥ ibn al-Fawzān

The importance of following the hadīth of the Prophet (ﷺ) if one is to be from ahl al-sunnah.

[Q]: Is there any difference between Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamāʿah, Ahl al-Ḥadīth and the Salafīs?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ b. Fawzān answers::

[A]: Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamāʿah are Ahl al-Ḥadīth. They are those who follow and act in accordance with the narrations of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
