Ibn Taymia was neither one of the Companions, Tabien nor of the Tabi Tabien, he passed away in the 8th century of Islam, however, Wahabis revere him in such a way that it is as if he were the leader of these elite generations. They make him conditional to understand the Revelation of Koran and Hadith and use as their standard, his erroneous interpretations of the Divinity.)
The Prophetic Way and Guidance as Adhered to by the Companions, and Their Followers
(Tabien and the Tabi Tabien)
The narrations of the Companions, Tabien and the Tabi Tabien (first three generations of Muslims) and the esteemed learned persons concerning the following of the prophetic way, and accepting the guidance of the Prophet.
Abdullah Omar's son was asked, "In the Koran we find the prayer when one is fearful, and the prayer at home, but we cannot find the prayer of a traveler." Omar' son replied, " O my nephew, Allah sent Prophet Muhammad to us when we did not know anything, we did what we saw him doing."
Omar son of Abdul Aziz said, "The Messenger of Allah had his prophetic way and the four caliphs who came after him also had ways. To adopt them is to comply with the Book of Allah and to act upon them is obedience to Allah and the strengthening of the Religion of Allah. No one should change or alter the prophetic way or consider the opinion of those in opposition. Whosoever follows it is guided, and whosoever seeks help by it will be amongst those who win. Whosoever opposes it and follows a path other than that of the believers Allah will assign to him that which he turns to and roast him in Hell, and that is an evil arrival."
During the caliphate of Omar, Al Khattab’s son Omar sent a letter to his governors instructing them to learn the prophetic sayings relating to the shares of inheritance and dialects. He wrote, "People will try to argue with you (using the Koran), when this occurs overcome them with the prophetic way. The people who follow the way of the Prophet have the greatest knowledge of the Book of Allah."
Imam Ali joined the Greater Pilgrimage and the Lesser Pilgrimage together whereupon Othman, who was unaware of the permissibility to join them asked, "Who has told you to do this, when I have forbidden the people to do so?" Ali respectfully replied, "I do not abandon the way of the Messenger of Allah in preference to the statement of another."
Commenting on the words of Allah, "Should you dispute about anything refer it to Allah and the Messenger" (4:59), Ata explained that it means that in the event of a disagreement one should consult the Book of Allah, and also the prophetic way.
Ash-Shafi'i said, "The Prophetic Way of the Messenger of Allah is only in its following."
