It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! If a matter befalls us for which there is no clear statement (of the Shari'ah), that is, neither a command nor a prohibition, what do you command us to do?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Consult the jurists and the devout worshippers (on that matter), and do not carry out in it the individual opinion of any particular person."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Walid bin Salih except Nuh."
