باب التَّوَرُّعِ عَنِ الْجَوَابِ فِيمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ كِتَابٌ وَلاَ سُنَّةٌ:Chapter: Caution in Answering Without Clear Evidence from Qur'an or Sunnah
Hadith 102
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَحُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا جَالِسَيْنِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لِحُذَيْفَةَ: "لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَرَى يَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ هَذَا ؟، قَالَ: يَعْلَمُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَتْرُكُونَهُ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا سَأَلْتُمُونَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى نَعْلَمُهُ، أَخْبَرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، أَوْ سُنَّةٍ مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرْنَاكُمْ بِهِ، وَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِمَا أَحْدَثْتُمْ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that they were both sitting when a man came and asked them about something. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you know why these people ask me about this thing? He said: Perhaps they want to find out and then leave it? Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards him and said: Whatever you have asked about, and we have knowledge of it from the Book of Allah, we have informed you of it, or whatever we found in the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we have told you, and as for the new things you have invented, we do not have the power to give a verdict about them.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 99 to 102)
Although this narration is not established in terms of its chain of transmission, the reality is that:
There are only two sources of religion: the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
One should exercise caution in issuing verdicts (fatwa) regarding matters that are not found in the Qur’an and Hadith.
One should respect one another and should not seek to assert scholarly superiority.
