In this regard, many verses indicate the obligation of obeying the Prophet and adhering to his Sunnah. Also, previous evidence indicated the obligation of adhering to the Book of Allāh, sticking to it, and complying with his orders and abstaining from its prohibitions. These are two relevant fundamentals in which whoever denies one of them denies the other. This is considered an act of disbelief and misguidance which takes one outside the fold of Islām as agreed by all the scholars.
The ahādīth of the Prophet (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) indicated the obligation of obeying the Messenger of Allāh (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), following his Sunnah and refraining from disobeying him. All of this is relative to the people of his era as well as those to come. It is related by Al-Bukhārī and Muslim on the authority of Abū Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) said:
“Whosoever obeys me, obeys Allāh; and he who disobeys me disobeys Allāh.”
By way of these various means, the Qur’ān calls the people to believe in the Sunnah and act upon it, and that it, along with the Qur’ān, is [one of] the true foundations of this religion. Since belief in the Messenger ﷺ is a foundation from the foundations of īmān, then belief in his Sunnah is a necessary component of īmān in him, because he is Ṣāḥib as-Sunnah (the Possessor of the Sunnah), and because īmān, as Imām Ibn al-Qayyim has defined it, is:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and His Ten Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) by Al-Hafidh Abdul-Ghani Al-Maqdisi (600 AH) Explained by Shaykh Muḥammad bin ‘Abdul-Wahhaab al-‘Aqil. It is unfortunate that there are young Muslims who have been raised by Muslim parents but have not read the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) even one time, while they have heard the names of hundreds of disbelievers and other Muslim personalities. In truth, this is a deficiency from the parents, because the mind and heart of the child is like a vessel if you fill it with good, it will be filled with good, and if you fill it with evil, then evil will occupy it. And if you neglect these vessels, someone else will fill them.
In this book, al Allamah Muhammad b. Salih al-Uthaymin explains a number of vital issues related to the Prayer in a very simple and comprehensive fashion. Not only does the Shaykh clarify the description of the Prayer, but he also expounds on finer details such as the meaning of the legislated supplications and remembrance articulated in the Prayer, which is highly beneficial to every Muslim, especially the English reader. This treatise provides the reader with accurate information based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so that the Muslim can actualize the saying of the Prophet (Sallahu alayhi wassalam): “Pray as you have seen me pray”
