Hadiths, as the units that composed the Sunna, explained and added to the Qur’an. What seemed to be contradicting the Qur’an might really be explaining its true meaning, as was the case with the Hadith informing men that they could not marry a woman and her aunt at the same time. Second, human reason, with its limited understanding of reality and its inability to grasp God’s power and truth, was not fit to act as a litmus test for the wisdom of a prophet. As Shah Wali Allah remarked, when it comes to knowing what is best the Messenger of God is ‘more trustworthy than our own reason.’
