كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة
The Book of Holding Fast To The Qur’An and The Sunna
بَابُ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْأَلُ مِمَّا لَمْ يُنْزَلْ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ فَيَقُولُ: «لاَ أَدْرِي»:
(8) Chapter. Whenever the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) was asked about something regarding which no Verse was revealed, he would either say, "I do not know," or give no reply, but he never gave a verdict based on opinion or on Qiyas.
Hadith 7309
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : " مَرِضْتُ ، فَجَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ ، فَأَتَانِي وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَيَّ ، فَأَفَقْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي ؟ ، قَالَ : فَمَا أَجَابَنِي بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ " .
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: I fell ill, Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came to visit me on foot. The Prophet came to me while I was unconscious. Allah's Apostle performed ablution and poured the Remaining water of his ablution over me whereupon I became conscious and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! How should I spend my wealth? Or how should I deal with my wealth?" But the Prophet did not give me any reply till the Verse of the laws of inheritance was revealed.
