أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَنبَأَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ
إِنَّمَا يُفْتِي النَّاسَ أَحَدُ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٌ عَلِمَ نَاسِخَ الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ مَنْسُوخِهِ قَالُوا وَمَنْ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ «وَأَمِيرٌ لَا يَجِدُ بُدًّا أَوْ أَحْمَقُ مُتَكَلِّفٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَلَسْتُ بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ الثَّالِثَ

✧ Only one of three gives legal opinions to people: a man who knows the abrogating verses of the Quran from the abrogated. They said, "Who is that?" He said, "'Umar b. al-Khattab." He said, "And a ruler who has no alternative, or a foolish pretender." Then Muhammad said, "I am not one of these two, and I hope not to be the third."
