Re: yesterday's friday prayers sermon
^ and it says PLENTY of times in the Quran: Ati Allah hu wa ati ar rasool!
based on the above ayat, it is the responsibility of EVERY muslim to follow the Prophet SAW... i cant imagine how this can be done w/o hadith... that said, it has to be ensured that the hadith is correct and the links of narrations are trustable.
Imam Bukhari would sometimes research a single hadith 4 three years b4 writing it in his books... so we cant brush these aside just bcoz they are not in the Quran.
Now PCG if u have been taught to doing dua in a dozen ways (and i'd be interested in knowing what those 12 ways are), and all of them are backed by hadih (sahih), then u can practise all of them... Muhammad SAW prayed witr in like 2/3 ways, and all are backed by sahih hadith, so doing all/ either is ok.
