[الشَّرْحُ] ساق المؤلف رحمه الله تعالى ـ فيما ساقه من الآيات الدالة على المحافظة على السنة وآدابها قوله تعالى: (فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيما) هذه الآية لها صلة بما قبلها وهي قوله تعالى (يَا أَيُّهَا
