> And no where in the Quran does it say to read hadith. That would be absurd, because the Quran contains everything.

Quran 24:54 Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away, then he is only responsible for his duty1 and you are responsible for yours.2 And if you obey him, you will be ˹rightly˺ guided. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.”

How do you plan on obeying the Messenger, upon him be peace, if you devalue the importance of his words to your spirituality?

Quran 2:151 Since We have sent you a messenger from among yourselves—reciting to you Our revelations, purifying you, teaching you the Book and wisdom, and teaching you what you never knew.

The Kitab and Hikma are two distinct concepts in this verse. If they were one and the same, it would be redundant for God to mention them that way. Muslims since the beginning have understood Hikma to be the Messenger's application of the Kitab, termed his Sunnah. How do you plan on knowing his application of the Book if you devalue the importance of his Sunnah, which you cannot know without ahadith?
