“whoever turns away from my sunnah has nothing to do with me”
Sir here the sunnah word includes any specific sunnah acts or the whole way of life and all the acts performed by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
kindly elaborate this?

At this occasion the prophet was reminding the people who wanted to adopt celibacy and asceticism that that was not the religious life he has introduced.
Not all the acts performed by the prophet are Sunnah. Sunnah is a religious way of life and act by the prophet like prayer, fast, Hajj etc.
-
sir irfan from your answer and other point arise in my mind
You mention prayer Hajj etc
The Namaz other than the farz obligatory namaz means sunnah prayer for example 2 Sunnah rakat of fajar and
The sunnah acts of Namaz hajj etc like rafa yadain and the like also fits in this
“whoever turns away from my sunnah has nothing to do with me”
Or not?

The word Sunnah is used with different connotation. In the saying of the prophet it means the religious way of life as approved by the prophet.
The whole act of prayer, fast and Hajj zakat are called Sunnah because the prophet taught them to his followers.
Then fuqaha uses the word Sunnah to differentiate between Faraz and non Faraz acts, and then some people use it for every big or small act of the prophet. This is not included in the above saying of the prophet. It is about the religious life style approved by the prophet.
-
So the acts like Rafa yadain are not included in this saying.
And the “sunnah” word mentioned in the saying
“whoever turns away from my sunnah has nothing to do with me”
is indicated towards the obligations of the Islam as how these obligations are actually performed by the prophet PBUH itself as these obligations are also Sunnah beacuse these are performed by Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
AS I EXPLAINED ABOVE
First question..
I GOT THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE SAYING?
Second question…
Furthermore,in the narration
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said: “Marriage is part of my sunnah, and whoever does not follow my sunnah has nothing to do with me.
So,What about marriage as the narration told us that the marriage is a sunnah.
So, whoever doesn’t marry has nothing to do with Prophet PBUH as mentioned in the narration?
-
As far as the above saying of the prophet is concerned it is about the way of life approved by the prophet.
Turn away means adopting the celibacy as something religious the context of the hadith confirms. This was what the holy prophet objected to.
However, if a person doesn’t get married for some other reasons, this is no turning away from the approved way of life. Turning away means when a non religious way of life is adopted as religious.
The acts life Rafa yadain are not Sunnah in this context. Rafa yadain is optional.

JAZAK ALLAH sir

My last question is kindly elobrate so i get the full understanding when you say approved way of life by Prophet PBUH.what is meant by that or refers to?
It will be very kind of you sir irfan.
-
Natural way is life is what God and His prophet approves. Asceticism is unnatural. But is adopted by religious minded people as something highly religious. This is what is condemned in the saying of the prophet.
-
Ok sir
JAZAK ALLAH
-
Sir irfan you mentioned all the acts performed by Prophet PBUH are not sunnah.
Are the acts like drink water in three sips,blow into the vessel,not consuming very hot food etc
Are all these acts are religious Sunnah or religious matters linked to the religious way of life of Prophet PBUH?
-
Also the sunnah muakkadah namaz like 2 sunnah of fajar and the Ghair e muakkadah
Are these also related to sunnah of religious way of life of PROPHET PBUH?
