ِيم ِ ِب ْس ِم ه الر ْح َٰم ِن ه َّللا ه ِ الرح In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
'The foundation of the Religion is following …' Imaam Abul-Mudthaffar as-Sam'aanee [ رحمه هللا, rahimahullaah, may Allaah have mercy on him, died 498AH] said: “The people of the Sunnah say: 'The foundation of the Religion is following (Ittibaa'), and the intellect is subservient.' So if the foundation of the Religion was left to the intellect, the creation would have been in no need of Revelation, nor of Prophets, and the commands and prohibitions would have no meaning, and anyone could have said whatever he wanted.” Recorded in Al-Hujjah (85 /a).
[Additional Note: Imaam Abul-Muthaffar as-Sam'aanee [ ] رحمه هللاwas a major scholar of hadeeth and fiqh.]
