" The Hadīth is a historical record of Prophetic teachings. It cannot change or modify the Qur’ān in any way. Its scope is confined to explaining and elucidating religion or in delineating the exemplar of the Prophet (sws). The Qur’ān is not dependent on the Hadīth for its explanation; On the contrary, the Hadīth need to be interpreted in the light of the Qur’ān. "
