We used to say this on this meaning, then I stopped it, and I ask Allah for goodness beforehand, as we may find among them those who say the Sunnah, and then we do not find its saying the Sunnah to be valid because it is from the Prophet ﷺ and analogy is more deserving for us in it. He said: And he (the statement of Zaid) does not remain except for his certainty from Ali. The Sheikh said: And it is narrated from Mu'adh bin Jabal, from the Prophet ﷺ, with a chain of narrators that is not established like it, and from Amr bin Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ, with a weak chain of narrators, like the statement of Zaid bin Thabit, and it is the statement of the jurists among the people of Madinah.  

ﷺ أَوْ عَنْ عَامَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَلَمْ يُشْبِهْ زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ الرَّأْيِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَحْمِلُهُ الرَّأْيُ وَلَا يَكُونُ فِيمَا قَالَ سَعِيدٌ السُّنَّةُ إِذَا كَانَ يُخَالِفُ الْقِيَاسَ وَالْعَقْلَ إِلَّا عِلْمُ اتِّبَاعٍ فِيمَا نَرَى وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَقُولُ بِهِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَعْنَى ثُمَّ وَقَفْتُ عَنْهُ وَأَسْأَلُ اللهَ الْخِيَرَةَ مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنَّا قَدْ نَجِدُ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ السُّنَّةُ ثُمَّ لَا نَجِدُ لِقَوْلِهِ السُّنَّةُ نَفَاذًا بِأَنَّهَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالْقِيَاسُ أَوْلَى بِنَا فِيهَا قَالَ وَلَا يَثْبُتُ عَنْ زَيْدٍ إِلَّا كَثُبُوتِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَا يَثْبُتُ مِثْلُهُ وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الْفُقَهَاءِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ
