Hadith 28 • Abu Dawood & At-Tirmidhi

Cling to the Sunnah

ﷺ

أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَإِنْ تَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ... فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَعِشْ مِنْكُمْ فَسَيَرَى اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسُنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ

Translation

"I counsel you to have Taqwa of Allah, and to listen and obey even if a slave were to be made your leader... Verily he among you who lives long will see great controversy, so you must keep to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the Khulafa ar-Rashideen (the Rightly Guided Caliphs), those who guide to the right way. Cling to it stubbornly [with your molar teeth]..."
