“Hadith are misleading except to people who know fiqh,” Ibn ‘Uyaynah
Surely one of the most pertinent quotes from the salaf for our age, only matched by that from Ibn Wahb, “Every man of hadith who has no Imam in fiqh is astray. If Allah had not rescued us by Malik and al-Layth we would have gone astray.”
