Commentary
Slothfully acting people had, after the lifetime of the Prophet's ﷺ Companions themselves, abandoned some of the Prophet's ﷺ Sunnah practices. Such practices, they felt, were not obligatory. The Dîn (the Religion) does not become complete by observing obligations alone; the Prophet's ﷺ customs (the Sunan) are also essential. Altogether abandonment of the Prophet's ﷺ practices is blameworthy and condemnable.
