We, as Muslims, are to follow not only Qur'an, but also the ahadith which portray the Sunnah (way of) the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
And what is the proof that we must follow that which is stated in the ahadith? The proof is from Qur'an itself:
Allah has said:
"And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) , and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment." (Qur'an 59:7)
And there are many verses in Qur'an that state we must obey Allah AND His Messeneger and there are even verses that warn against disobedience to Allah's Messenger:
"...and whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) will be admitted to Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise),..." (Qur'an 4:13)
"And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (SAW), fears Allah, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful ones." (Qur'an 24:52)
