Chapter: Those Who Feared Giving Fatwa Out of Fear of Mistakes
Sunan ad-Darimi 284 — Those Who Feared Giving Fatwa Out of Fear
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَنَسٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا، قَالَ: "أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ".
Muhammad said: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), whenever he narrated a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he would say: «أو كما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم» .
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 278 to 284)
From all these narrations, the legitimacy of saying «أو كما قال رسول اللّٰه صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم» or «قال نحوه أو شبه أو شكله» etc. after narrating a hadith is established, by which there remains no risk of attributing a false hadith to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). This also indicates the extreme caution exercised by the pious predecessors (salaf salihin) in the narration of hadith.
