Salam,
Bismillah.

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 656:

Narrated Aisha:

the mother of the believers: Allah's Apostle during his illness prayed at his house while sitting whereas some people prayed behind him standing. The Prophet beckoned them to sit down. On completion of the prayer, he said, 'The Imam is to be followed: bow when he bows, raise up your heads (stand erect) when he raises his head and when he says, 'Sami a-l-lahu liman-hamida ' (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him) say then 'Rabbana wa laka-l-hamd' (O our Lord! All the praises are for You), and if he prays sitting then pray sitting."

The provision of this Hadith has been abrogated by the last action of the Prophet (SAW). See next Hadith.

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 657:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Once Allah's Apostle rode a horse and fell down and the right side (of his body) was injured. He offered one of the prayers while sitting and we also prayed behind him sitting. When he completed the prayer, he said, "The Imam is to be followed. Pray standing if he prays standing and bow when he bows; rise when he rises; and if he says, 'Sami a-l-lahu-liman hamida, say then, 'Rabbana wa Lakal-hamd' and pray standing if he prays standing, and pray sitting (all of you) if he prays sitting."

Humaid said: The saying of the Prophet "Pray sitting, if he (Imam) prays sitting" was said in his former illness (during his early life) but the Prophet prayed sitting afterwards (in the last illness) and the people were praying standing behind him and the Prophet did not order them to sit. We should follow the latest actions of the Prophet.

Similar Hadith has been covered before. Read here.

Here's when we realize how important knowledge of Hadith is. The sciences of Hadith. It's quite a vast subject, I must say. Just to give you an example from `Ilm-ur-Rijaal: a Hadith has two parts: the chain of narrators (sanad) and the text (matn). Chain of narrators in Imaam Bukhari's time usually had 3-6 narrators. In order for a Hadith to be claimed Saheeh (authentic), it's important to check each narrator's `aqeedah, character, scholars' opinion about them, memory etc. Imaam Bukhari used to check each narrator for each Hadith, and when he was sure that each narrator was an honest, reliable person having a good memory etc., only then would he include the Hadith in his book. Imagine! He did the same check for more than 7000 Ahadith! O_O

This is just a tiny bit. There's a LOT more to what we call `Ulum-ul-Hadith.

Wassalam.

In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
In books of Hadith two types of texts are found related to the legacy of prophet

1 Quran and Sunnah

2 Quran and ahle bait

There is no contradiction between two because Ahle bait according
to Quran are wives and offsprings of Holy prophet. So we should
not ignore any member of house hold of Holy prophet .When we
sum up both hadiths result is that two sets of commands are Quran and hadith and two heavy things are Quran and ahle bait.Which means commands will be words of Allan and His Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam and heavy things means that understanding and respect of ahle bait will have crucial importance for Muslims.The contribution of Khadija radi Allahu Anha from household of prophet is a full fledge chapter of Islamic history.Indeed from household of prophet salal laho aliehi wasalam Ayesha radi allaha anha and Ali radi Allahu anha were experts in deen .Thousands of Hadith were narrated by Ayesha Radi Allahu Anha and decision of Ali Radi Allahu anhu were remarkable during the time period of Abu bakar ra, Umer raand also during his own regime.Similarly Umme Salam radi Allaha anha had high understanding of deen.The book which we recite at this moment was a copy of mushaf mantained by Syeda Hafsa radi Allaha anha.Fatimah radi Allaha Anha was a copy of Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam in her character.So all the members of household were/are source of inspiration for whole Ummah.What made them great was their attitude towards Commands of Allah and His Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam.All of them devoted their selves and resources for sake of deen .Although The Contribution of Ahle bait is great but authority in the matter of deen is Book of Allah and Sunnah of His prophet salal laho aliehi wasalam

QURAN - Interpretation is Sunnah And Hadith

Quran was revealed on Holy prophet salal laho aliehi wasalam. It was he (saw) who elaborated meanings of Holy Quran .Any ambiguity in meanings of Quran can only be determined by sayings of Holy Prophet (saw). No opinion related to interpretation of Quran can supersede sayings of Holy prophet. Anyone who wants to interpret Quran with his wisdom and detaches or ignores hadith and sunnah is indeed on wrong path.
As well, Quran itself has clearly delegated this authority to Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam .There are many verses which address this issue clearly.
Remember that, An authentic hadith is never against holy Quran rather it explains Holy Quran.
General logical Question for those who believe in Authority of Sunnah in Shariah:
1. how you offer salah from Quran only?
If you going to answer that it is offer in similar method as in times of previous Prophets (AS)
Then face encounter question:
All the recitations of our salah are absolultely different from the salahs in old shariah.We recite Quran in Qayam.We recite durood shareef in Tashahhud and similarly many more differences .This style is tarnsferred through Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam not through other prophets

2. In which month should we do hajj and qurbani from Quran Only.
3. Allah says that months of Hajj are determined and specified where is that specific information?
Reminder:
Even the style of Hajj and UMRAH is totally different from Hajj and UMRAH of jahiliyyah .Rasool salal laho aliehi wasalam is the source of inspiration for us in these matters.
4. What to do with zakat where is the amount of zakat mentioned in Quran so when Quran says give zakat where is the answer??
5. Quran that who was abu lahab and what is the subject of Surah lahab and why abu lahab is cursed by Allah swt.
6. An interesting example in this regard is that of Rajam which is an additional penalty for married zanis mentioned in hadith where as Quran only mentions 100 lashes but hadith limits that punishment for un married zanis only.

Reminder:
all faqeehs and mohaddiseen are convinced on rajam for married couple so why the collective wisdom of Ummah goes in favour of the assumption that hadith can modify or restrict or interpret verses of Quran

Therefore,
Quran alone cannot be understood and acted upon without hadith. Sunnah and hadith is the practical application of Quran and anyone who wants to detach hadith from Quran will be in confusion and will confuse others too
AS,
Many commands other than Quran have been issued by Rasool sala laho aliehi wasalam and there are many from which he has forbidden .To say prophet was not delegated authority to make laws is not in accordance with many established verses of Quran.
Again reminder
The Quran was not revealed in once but slowly in 23 years in different occasion. All the Ayahs of Quran are the Quran Scripture because of Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (saw) compiled and memorized by the Sahabahs (RA).
