[Machine] About saying "and consult them in the matter" [Quran 3:159], Al-Hasan said: Allah, may He be exalted, taught him that he did not need anything from them, but he wanted to use it as an example for those who would come after him.
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ} [آل عمران 159] قَالَ عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنَّهُ مَا بِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَلَكِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَنَّ بِهِ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ
