bayhaqi:19704Abū Zakariyyā from my father

[Machine] "He is the one whom Allah did not impose any covenant upon regarding what He prohibited them from, that he would keep that away from them. Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Since Allah ﷻ sent Muhammad ﷺ, no created being, whether jinn or human, has come to understand his call except that the proof of Allah has been established upon him by following his religion. It is incumbent upon each of them to forbid what Allah has prohibited on the tongue of His Prophet, and to permit what he has permitted on the tongue of Muhammad ﷺ."  

البيهقي:١٩٧٠٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

هُوَ مَا كَانَ اللهُ أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْمِيثَاقِ فِيمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ خَلْقٌ يَعْقِلُ مُنْذُ بَعَثَ اللهُ ﷻ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ مِنْ جِنٍّ وَلَا إِنْسٍ بَلَغَتْهُ دَعْوَتُهُ إِلَّا قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ حُجَّةُ اللهِ بِاتِّبَاعِ دِينِهِ وَلَزِمَ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ تَحْرِيمُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ وَإِحْلَالُ مَا أَحَلَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
