كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنةThe Book of Holding Fast To The Qur’An and The Sunna
بَابُ إِذَا اجْتَهَدَ الْعَامِلُ أَوِ الْحَاكِمُ فَأَخْطَأَ خِلاَفَ الرَّسُولِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَحُكْمُهُ مَرْدُودٌ:Chapter. If a governor or a ruler gives a verdict based on his opinion and the verdict proves to be wrong and disagrees with the verdict of Allah’s Messenger (p.b.u.h.), but he is unaware of that; then his verdict will be rejected.
Hadith 7350
اُردوEn
لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ .
Because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever does an act for which there is no command from us, it is rejected.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَاهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " بَعَثَ أَخَا بَنِي عَدِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَاسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ ، فَقَدِمَ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا لَنَشْتَرِي الصَّاعَ بِالصَّاعَيْنِ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَفْعَلُوا وَلَكِنْ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ ، أَوْ بِيعُوا هَذَا ، وَاشْتَرُوا بِثَمَنِهِ مِنْ هَذَا ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيزَانُ " .
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle sent the brother of the tribe of Bani Adi Al-Ansari as governor of Khaibar. Then the man returned, bringing Janib (a good kind of date). Allah's Apostle asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaibar like that?" He replied, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! We take one Sa' of these (good) dates for two Sas of mixed dates." Allah's Apostle then said, "Do not do so. You should either take one Sa of this (kind) for one Sa' of the other; or sell one kind and then buy with its price the other kind (of dates), and you should do the same in weighing."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established a similar chapter heading in the Book of Rulings (Kitab al-Ahkam) with these words:
(Bab: If a judge passes a judgment based on injustice or contrary to the people of knowledge, then it is rejected)
“When a judge gives a verdict that is contrary to the people of knowledge or based on injustice, then it is rejected.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Ahkam, Chapter: No. 35)
This is not repetition; rather, the first heading concerns rejecting judgments that are against consensus (ijma‘), and the aforementioned heading concerns rejecting judgments that are against the Sunnah.
➋
The purpose of Imam Bukhari rahimahullah is that if someone gives a judgment contrary to the Sunnah, whether due to ignorance or mistake, then after the truth becomes clear, it is necessary to retract from it, because Allah the Exalted has made obedience to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam obligatory.
There are many rulings of the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in in which, after the truth became known, they retracted and abandoned their incorrect position.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah says:
The relevance of this hadith to the chapter heading is that a Companion exercised ijtihad and, by giving inferior dates, took a lesser quantity and received superior dates in exchange, but the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam declared his action to be incorrect, even though he was considered excused due to his ijtihad.
In one narration, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
“Oh! This is pure usury (riba).
Do not do this.
” Do not do such a thing in the future, meaning that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not uphold his action but rather declared it wrong and rejected it.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Wakalah, Hadith: 2312 and Fath al-Bari: 13/389)
