[Quran 11:114] Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful.
This verse ordains daily obligatory salat, but does not mention the number of rak-ats, what to be recited and how to be prayed. The Holy Prophet taught the Muslims the exact procedure of each of the 5 times a day obligatory salats. So the statement "husbuna kitabullah" is preposterous.
Any heavenly scripture, particularly the Quran, without the guidance of the Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt cannot be understood and followed. Refer to the commentary of al Baqarah: 2 (al kitab), and page 43 for salat and also al Baqarah: 45.
[Quran 4:65] But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.
The opening phrase of this verse (No, by your Lord) asserts that the decision of Allah is final and irrevocable. Allah has decreed that the Holy Prophet's judgements, decisions and directions (concerning all material, spiritual, personal and public matters) should be accepted and carried out by his followers, else profession of their faith would not be genuine and sincere.
"Fima shajara baynahum" gives unlimited powers to the Holy Prophet.
Thumma la yajidu fi anfusihim seals the decisive nature of the Holy Prophet's judgements, decisions and directions. No one has any right whatsoever to disagree with him in thought and action.
Yusallimu taslima implies total surrender to him without any reservation.
From the "feast of the near relatives" to the event at Ghadir Khum the Holy Prophet had clearly given his judgement, decision and direction (under the command of Allah) to his followers to follow Ali, after him, in all material, spiritual, personal and public matters.
The companions of the Holy Prophet, after him, in a great hurry, held conferences in Saqifa bani Sa-ida to choose his successor, by ignoring his clear directions, inspite of this verse. It was a deliberate scheme to deprive the Muslim ummah from the divinely decreed leadership of Ali and his descendants. By doing so they not only violated the commands of Allah and the directions of the Holy Prophet but also condemned the Muslim ummah to an everlasting perdition.
There are two groups of the Holy Prophet's successors:
(1) The twelve Imams, the descendants of Ibrahim, Ismail and the Holy Prophet, well-known to the Muslim ummah, from Imam Ali ibn abi Talib to Imam Muhammad bin Hasan al-Mahdi (refer to Quran 2:124)
(2) The crafty rulers openly opposed and persecuted the twelve Imams and their families, friends and followers. Most of them were drunkards, gamblers and ruffians. To know the true colour of the Umayyid and Abbaside caliphs please refer to Hitti's History of the Arabs or any important book of history written by a Muslim or a non-Muslim historian.
The sincere seekers of truth can easily select their Imams whom they want to follow from among these two groups.
It was the misfortune of the Muslim ummah that they made a wrong decision after the departure of the Holy Prophet. Even at the last moment he asked his companions to bring a sheet of paper and a pen so that he could write that which would prevent them from going astray, after him, but the people around him did not want him to commit his will in writing. One of them said:
"The book of Allah is sufficient for us."
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Fat-hul Bari, Tabrani, Tarikh Ahmadi).
This declaration by one of the companions, who also observed that "the old man was in a delirium" was a wilful contravention of this and many such verses of the Quran, because we cannot say that he was an ignorant fool who was not aware of the book of Allah.
The above-noted tradition is known as hadith al-qartas.
was same as Sunnah of Shaikhain then why while deciding the third caliphate. Imam Ali 
and Uthman bin Afan were asked about three things (1) Quran (2) Sunnah of Prophet 
was refereing to an ayat from the quran where Allah swt says " hold steadfast on to the rope (quran) of Allah" which means do not create divisions and fithna.
