Hadith 6702

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : لَقَدْ جَلَسْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي مَجْلِسًا مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهِ حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ ، أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي ، وَإِذَا مَشْيَخَةٌ مِنْ صَحَابَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهِ ، فَكَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَجَلَسْنَا حَجْرَةً ، إِذْ ذَكَرُوا آيَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَتَمَارَوْا فِيهَا ، حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُغْضَبًا ، قَدْ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ ، يَرْمِيهِمْ بِالتُّرَابِ ، وَيَقُولُ : " مَهْلًا يَا قَوْمِ ، بِهَذَا أُهْلِكَتْ الْأُمَمُ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ، بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ ، وَضَرْبِهِمْ الْكُتُبَ بَعْضَهَا بِبَعْضٍ ، إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ يُكَذِّبُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا ، بَلْ يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا ، فَمَا عَرَفْتُمْ مِنْهُ ، فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ ، وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ ، فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I and my brother were sitting in such a gathering that I would not prefer to have red camels in exchange for it. Once I came with my brother and some senior Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were sitting near one of the doors of the Prophet's Mosque. We did not consider it appropriate to push in between them and cause separation, so we sat in a corner. During this time, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) mentioned a verse of the Qur'an and there arose a difference of opinion among them regarding its interpretation, to the extent that their voices became raised. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out angrily, his blessed face was turning red, and he was throwing dust and saying: "People! Stop! The previous nations were destroyed only because they differed in front of their prophets and struck parts of their books against other parts. The Qur'an was not revealed in such a way that one part would belie another; rather, it confirms one another. Therefore, act upon whatever knowledge you have, and whatever you do not know, ask its scholar about it."
