١٠٣٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ : «إِنَّمَا السُّنَّةُ الْأَخْذُ بِالرُّكَبِ».

Commentary
When a Companion designates, with certainty, a deed to be a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, that deed becomes equal in status to the statement or deed of the Prophet ﷺ, and it is called Marfu' hukmi, or a law or ruling which could be traced all the way back to the Prophet ﷺ. In the terminology of the Muhaddithin, Sunnah signifies the practice of the Prophet ﷺ.
