The Sunnah and its Role in Islamic Legislation is a groundbreaking
effort by Dr. Mustafa as-Siba’ee, for it has a completeness to it in two
regards: first, the author manages to cover all topics related to the
Sunnah—its status, its legislative force, the stages that led to its
recording, just to mention a few—in a comprehensive and organized
manner. Second, he presents the views of those that have attacked the
Sunnah throughout history, detailing their arguments and then refuting
them. Among those groups from the past were the Shi’a and the
Mu’tazilah; today, they are mainly the Orientalists and those that are
influenced by them.
Shaykh as-Siba’ee takes us through the historical development of the Sunnah, from the early stages of revelation to the recording of the Sunnah during the era of the great Imams of Hadith. Throughout that account, he highlights the contributions of the scholars in preserving the Sunnah and cleansing it from fabrications and lies. Shaykh as-Siba’ee gives a clear account of the revolutionary methods and scholarly principles that were established in order to authenticate historical reports and narrations. The author shows us that the fruits of that endeavor were the preservation of the authentic Sunnah and the birth of the Hadith sciences.
This book has been a perennial source of knowledge for Arabic-speaking students of Islam, for its clarity, readability, and insightful research. New English-speaking students too have available to them this authoritative treatise on the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ) may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
