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»:

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
وَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الآيَةُ.
'And Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked, "What is the soul (ruh)?" He (peace be upon him) remained silent until this verse was revealed.
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.
أَوْ لَمْ يُجِبْ حَتَّى يُنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بِرَأْيٍ وَلاَ بِقِيَاسٍ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {بِمَا أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ}.
Rather, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about something regarding which no revelation had been sent down, he would say, "I do not know," or he would remain silent until revelation came down, giving no answer. Because Allah the Exalted has said (in Surah An-Nisa): "So that you may judge among them by what Allah has shown you."

'And Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked, "What is the soul (ruh)?" He (peace be upon him) remained silent until this verse was revealed.
