Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24488 — What a judge should begin with
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 Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to Yemen as a judge, he asked him: "How will you judge?" Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will judge according to the Book of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What if a matter comes up that is not in the Book of Allah?" Sayyiduna Mu'adh said: "I will judge according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What if that matter is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) either?" Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will judge according to my own opinion." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All praise is for Allah, who has granted success to the envoy of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
