[quote]Dear Salman
Reply of Brother Tariq:-. They would add to the justification of one’s understanding. They also tell us how the Prophet applied the Quranic injunctions and understood them. However, the number of such ahadith which are relatively authentic is very small.

He is not qualified to say this.See how the qualified people(Maudoodi Sahib) sees this issue and what are the Maulana Maudoodi's views regarding such people.This I have copied from my yesterday's post where Maudoodi Sahib has explained the verse (16:44).Have a look.

People who says

(d) now the Book alone is authentic for the "Exposition" by the Prophet has ceased to exist, or if it does exists, it cannot be relied upon.

In case, they take the position (d), they, [b]in fact, repudiate both the Qur'an and its "Exposition by the Holy Prophet. [/b] Then the only rational course left for them would be to accept the view of those who believe in the necessity of a new Prophet and a new revelation; [b]whereas AIlah Himself considers the "Exposition" of the Book by the Prophet as an essential thing, and puts it forward as an argument for the necessity of a Prophet.[/b] Now if the view of the rejectors of Tradition that the Explanation of the Holy Prophet has disappeared from the world is to be accepted, then two conclusions are inevitable; [b]First, the Prophethood of Muhammad (May Allah's peace be upon him) as a pattern for us has ceased to exist, and the only relation we have with him is the same that we have with the other former Prophets, e.g. Hud, Salih, Shu`aib, etc. (May Allah's peace be upon them). [/b] That is, we have only to testify that they were Prophets but we have no obligation to follow their patterns, for we have none with us. This position obviously leads to the need of a new Prophet, for it automatically refutes the doctrine of the Finality of Prophethood. [b]The second inevitable conclusion will be that a new Book is needed because in that case the Qur'an alone could not, according to its author, suffice. Thus in the face of this verse, there is no argument left to prove that the Qur'an is self-[/b][b]sufficient to explain itself[/b], for it itself says that there is no need of a Prophet to explain it. Thus it is absolutely necessary that a new Book must be sent down. [b]May Allah destroy such people ! In their enthusiasm to repudiate Tradition, they are really cutting at the very root of Islam itself. [/b][/quote]
