• As Sunnatut-Taareeriyyah (tacit approval)
• As Sifatul-Khuluqiyyah (moral description)

In addition, he discusses the two types of Sunnah: The clear Sunnah and the implied Sunnah. To conclude, twelve points of benefit summarise the excellence of the Sunnah, its lofty status and clear any misconceptions surrounding this noble topic.
