باب كَرَاهِيَةِ الْفُتْيَا:Chapter: Dislike of Giving Religious Verdicts
Hadith 131
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّا لَا نَدْرِي، "لَعَلَّنَا نَأْمُرُكُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَكُمْ، وَلَعَلَّنَا نُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَشْيَاءَ هِيَ لَكُمْ حَلَالٌ، إِنَّ آخِرَ مَا نَزَلَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ آيَةُ الرِّبَا، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْهَا لَنَا حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَدَعُوا مَا يَرِيبُكُمْ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكُمْ".
It is narrated from Imam Sha'bi that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! We do not know, it may be that we command you regarding matters which are not permissible for you, and it may be that we declare things forbidden for you which are actually lawful for you. The last verse revealed in the Noble Qur'an was about usury, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not explain it to us in detail before he passed away. Therefore, leave that which you are doubtful about, and adopt that which you have no doubt about (act upon it).
