Sciences of Prophetic Tradition

A fatwa in English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid answers the following question, "Firstly: I apologize for asking such a question, and so that there will be no room for doubt about my intention I will say that I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and I am completely content with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as my Prophet. I am asking about the Sunnah, because there are many reports of a single hadith. For example, we may find in Sahih al-Bukhari a hadith that appears in a form different than that in which it appears in Sahih Muslim. Why isn’t the Sunnah like the Holy Qur’an? What is the difference between the Sunnah and the Holy Qur’an? Is the Sunnah part of the Wahy that was revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or is it just his words and deeds? Is it one of the characteristics of Prophethood or what?"

Does it refer to Hajj, umrah or both? And whatever the case may be, what are we to take from the hadeeth?"
