From Salih bin Kaysaan (d. 140 A.H.) who said:
‘I met up with Zuhri and we would seek knowledge ( together), then we said: We should write the Sunnan, we should write that which came from the Prophet ﷺ , then we should write that which came from his Companions as indeed it is the Sunnah. So I said: It is not the Sunnah and we should not write it.
He continues: So Zuhri wrote it, but I did not write it, so he was successful whereas I became lost.’
[From ‘Jamia Bayyan al-Ilm’ 2/1176]

Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy upon him, said:
"Whoever thinks that he can simply take from the Book (the Qur'ān) and the Sunnah without following the Sahābah (the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, may Allāh be pleased with them), and pursues a path other than theirs, is from the people of innovations."
