حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرِو ابْنِ أَخِي الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: " كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَكَ قَضَاءٌ؟ " قَالَ: أَقْضِي بِمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ. قَالَ: " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ؟ " قَالَ: فَبِسُنَّةِ (١) رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ " قَالَ: أَجْتَهِدُ رَأْيِي، لَا آلُو. قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ لِمَا يُرْضِي رَسُولَ اللهِ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent him towards Yemen, he asked him, "If a decision comes before you, how will you resolve it?" He replied, "I will decide it in the light of the Book of Allah." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find it in the Book of Allah, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will decide in the light of the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find its ruling in my Sunnah either, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will exercise ijtihad with my own opinion and I will not fall short in it in any way." Upon this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) struck his blessed hand on my chest and said, "All praise is due to Allah who has guided the messenger of His Messenger to that which pleases His Messenger."
