'Umar b. Al-Khattāb - Allāh be pleased with him - said:
Verily, the followers of opinion are the enemies of the Sunan (the teachings of Allāh's Messenger as passed down in hadith): they were unable to preserve them and their meanings escaped them, and when asked [questions] they were too embarrassed to say 'We don't know,' so they opposed the Sunan with their opinions.
