This hadith highlights two important values for Muslims - following traditions passed down from previous generations, especially those related to faith; and relying on reliable sources when seeking knowledge or guidance on matters related to faith or practice so that one can be sure they are following what has been taught by God's messenger without any doubt or hesitation.
