Still avoiding my question, but anyways yes, obey Allah and obey the Rasool s.a..w. No two ways about it. And when ever the Prophet s.a.w wanted to relay a command he would announce it in a gathering of people and make it clear this is a command that needs to be followed. Not one to one or in his daily normal interactions with people.
Problem is people have taken each and every word of the Hadith as commandment when it clearly isn't. Sahih Hadith is more or less the record of the life and time of the Prophet s.a.w. Not a divine book of commandment and revelation. And whatever commandments are in there are basically expanding or further explaining the Quran. And that also after is verified as much as possible that this is an authentic and sahih hadith.
Simple and most discussed example. Keeping a beard or wearing garments above the ankle clearly are not commandments but today majority of the Muslims think it is. Yes if you out of love for the Prophet s.a.w and trying to emulate him you keep a beard there is nothing wrong with it. But today there people who insist this is part of the deen and you HAVE to keep it otherwise God knows your prayers are declared as not being accepted to becoming a kafir!
