96. Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah

٩٦۔ كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة

96.15 Exerting oneself to find out the proper legal verdict which is in harmony with what Allah has revealed

٩٦۔١٥ بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي اجْتِهَادِ الْقُضَاةِ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى

[Machine] "According to his saying: 'Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then they are the wrongdoers.' And the Prophet ﷺ praised the companion of wisdom when he judges with it and teaches it, without any affectation from him, and seeks consultation from the caliphs and asks the people of knowledge."

لِقَوْلِهِ: {وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ}. وَمَدَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَاحِبَ الْحِكْمَةِ حِينَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا، لاَ يَتَكَلَّفُ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ، وَمُشَاوَرَةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ وَسُؤَالِهِمْ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not wish to be like anybody except in two cases: The case of a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and that of a man whom Allah has given religious wisdom (i.e., Qur'an and Sunna) and he gives his verdicts according to it and teaches it." (to others i.e., religious knowledge of Qur'an and Sunna (Prophet's Traditions)). "  

البخاري:٧٣١٦حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ حَسَدَ إِلاَّ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ وَآخَرُ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ حِكْمَةً فَهْوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asked (the people) about the Imlas of a woman, i.e., a woman who has an abortion because of having been beaten on her ʿAbdomen, saying, "Who among you has heard anything about it from the Prophet?" I said, "I did.'' He said, "What is that?" I said, "I heard the Prophet saying, "Its Diya (blood money) is either a male or a female slave.' " ʿUmar said, "Do not leave till you present witness in support of your statement." So I went out, and found Muhammad bin Maslama. I brought him, and he bore witness with me that he had heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Its Diya (blood money) is either a male slave or a female slave."  

البخاري:٧٣١٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ سَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ

عَنْ إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ هِيَ الَّتِي يُضْرَبُ بَطْنُهَا فَتُلْقِي جَنِينًا فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ أَنَا فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِيهِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ فَقَالَ لاَ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى تَجِيئَنِي بِالْمَخْرَجِ فِيمَا قُلْتَفَخَرَجْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَشَهِدَ مَعِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِيهِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ  

تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ
