Majma al-Zawaid 799 — Second chapter on following the Book

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " السُّنَّةُ سُنَّتَانِ : سُنَّةٌ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ ، وَسُنَّةٌ فِي غَيْرِ فَرِيضَةٍ ، السُّنَّةُ الَّتِي فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ أَصْلُهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْذُهَا هُدًى ، وَتَرْكُهَا ضَلَالَةٌ ، وَالسُّنَّةُ الَّتِي لَيْسَ أَصْلُهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْأَخْذُ بِهَا فَضِيلَةٌ ، وَتَرْكُهَا لَيْسَ بِخَطِيئَةٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَقَالَ : لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ إِلَّا عِيسَى بْنُ وَاقَدٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ . وَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Sunnah is of two kinds: a Sunnah connected to an obligation, and a Sunnah connected to other than an obligation. The Sunnah connected to an obligation has its basis in the Book of Allah; adopting it is guidance and abandoning it is misguidance. The Sunnah whose basis is not in the Book of Allah, adopting it is a virtue (i.e., recommended), and abandoning it is not a sin."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and said: No one narrated it from Abu Salamah except Isa bin Waqid, and the narrator Abdullah bin al-Rumi is alone in narrating it. I have not seen anyone who has written his biography.
