Bayhaqi 20376 — One who exercises ijtihad, then sees

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ - نَيْسَابُورِيٌّ -، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ عَطَاءُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ صَالِحًا الْمُرَادِيَّ يَقُولُ: قَالَ عَبْدُ خَيْرٍ: كُنْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حِينَ جَاءَهُ أَهْلُ نَجْرَانَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنْ كَانَ رَادًّا عَلَى عُمَرَ شَيْئًا فَالْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: فَسَلَّمُوا وَاصْطَفُّوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَدَهُ فِي كُمِّهِ فَأَخْرَجَ كِتَابًا فَوَضَعَهُ فِي يَدِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالُوا: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، خَطُّكُ بِيَمِينِكَ وَإِمْلَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ جَرَتِ الدُّمُوعُ عَلَى خَدِّهِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: " يَا أَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَآخِرُ كِتَابٍ كَتَبْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، قَالُوا: فَأَعْطِنَا مَا فِيهِ، قَالَ: " سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ ذَاكَ، إِنَّ الَّذِي أَخَذَ مِنْكُمْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ لِنَفْسِهِ، إِنَّمَا أَخَذَهُ لِجَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ مِنْكُمْ خَيْرًا مِمَّا أَعْطَاكُمْ، وَاللهِ لَا أَرُدُّ شَيْئًا مِمَّا صَنَعَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، إِنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ رَشِيدَ الْأَمْرِ ".
Abd Khayr said: I was near Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the people of Najran came. I said: If he is ever going to reverse anything of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), it will be today. The narrator said: They gave greetings of peace and sat before him. Then one of them put his hand into his sleeve, took out a document and placed it in the hand of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and they said: This is the document in your handwriting which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dictated. The narrator said: Tears flowed from the eyes of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he raised his head towards them and said: This is the last document I wrote in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said: Grant us what is in it. He said: I will soon tell you about that. Whatever Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took, he did not take for himself; he collected it for the Muslims. What Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took from you was better than what he gave you. By Allah, I will not undo anything that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did, because Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man of sound judgement.
