Hadith 24488
٢٤٤٨٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن شعبة عن (أبي) (١) عون عن الحارث بن (عمرو) (٢) (الهذلي) (٣) عن رجال من أهل حمص (من) (٤) أصحاب معاذ (عن) (٥) معاذ أن النبي ﷺ لما بعثه قال (له) (٦): "كيف تقضي؟ " قال: أقضي بما في كتاب اللَّه، قال: "فإن جاءك أمر ليس في كتاب اللَّه" قال: أقضي بسنة رسول اللَّه ﷺ (٧)، قال: "فإن لم تكن سنة من رسول اللَّه (٨)؟ " قال: أجتهد رأيي، قال: "الحمد للَّه (الذي) (٩) وفق رسول (رسول) (١٠) اللَّه ﷺ" (١١).
It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to Yemen as a judge, he asked him: "How will you judge?" Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I will judge according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If a matter arises that is not in the Book of Allah?" Hazrat Mu'adh replied, "I will judge according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If that matter is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) either?" Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I will judge according to my own opinion." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "All praise is due to Allah who has granted the messenger of the Messenger of Allah the ability to do this."
