The goal is to warn against this group, expose its plot, and urge people to defend the Sunnah and adhere to it. Abu Ya'la said: "Indeed, they only impugn the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions because we only came to know Allah, His Messenger, the Qur'an, good and evil, and the Hereafter through the narrations (athar). And the Qur'an is more in need of the Sunnah than the Sunnah is of the Qur'an."
