Al-Sunnah lug'atda yo'l, usul, uslub ma'nosini anglatadi. Shariat istilohida esa Payg'ambar (SAW) dan rivoyat qilingan ba'zi nafl ibodatlarning nomi hamdir. Sunnah esa Rasulullah ﷺ dan kelgan so'z, amal va tasdiq (rozilik bildirish)ning nomidir. Shariat dalillari haqida gapirilganda, bularning barchasi sunnahdir va bularning hammasi vahiy orqali qabul qilingan narsadir. Alloh Taolo aytadi: {U o'z xohishidan gapirmaydi} {Bu faqat unga nozil qilingan vahiydir} — An-Najm surasi, 3-4-oyatlar. Va Alloh Taolo aytadi: {Sizni faqat vahiy bilan ogohlantiraman, deb ayt...} — Al-Anbiyo surasi, 45-oyat.

Al–Sunnah linguistically is the method, and in the shari'ah it is the name of some of the supererogatory worships transferred from the Prophet (SAW), and the Sunnah is the name of what came from the messenger (SAW) of saying, action and approval, when we talk about the shari'ahi evidences, all that is the sunnah and it is all what is received by the revelation, Allah Ta'ala said: {Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire} {It is no less than inspiration sent down to him} 3 Surat Al-Najm, and He Ta'ala said: to according you warn but do I :Say revelation…} 45 Surat Al-Anbia'.
