Abū Az-Zinād ‘Abdullāh bin Dhakwān رحمه الله stated:

“The man is not counted as being a (real) man until he knows the (Prophetic) Sunnah.”

[At-Tārīkh Al-Kabīr of Imām Al-Bukhārī 7/157]

قال أبو الزناد عبد الله بن ذكوان – رحمه الله – :

ما كانَ الرجل يُعَدُّ رجلاً حتى يَعرفَ السن

[ انظر التاريخ الكبير للبخاري : ( ٧ / ١٥٧ )]

True manhood is in knowing and practicing the Dīn of Allāh which is based upon the Qurān and Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf.
