باب الْفُتْيَا وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الشِّدَّةِ:Chapter: The Seriousness of Giving Religious Verdicts
Hadith 165
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْبَصْرَةَ، أَتَيْتُهُ أَنَا، وَالْحَسَنُ، "فَقَالَ لِلْحَسَنِ: أَنْتَ الْحَسَنُ ؟ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ بِالْبَصْرَةِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ لِقَاءً مِنْكَ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُفْتِي بِرَأْيِكَ، فَلَا تُفْتِ بِرَأْيِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ سُنَّةٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ كِتَابٌ مُنْزَلٌ".
It is narrated from Abu Nadrah (Munzir bin Malik) that when Abu Salamah came to Basra, I and Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him. He asked Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him): "Are you Hasan? In Basra, there is no one I wished to meet more than you, and this is because I have learned that you issue fatwas based on your own opinion. (Therefore, listen:) Do not issue any fatwa based on your own opinion. If there is something in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or in the Holy Qur'an, then mention only that."
