حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ:
لَمَّا بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ: يَا مُعَاذُ، بِمَ تَقْضِي ؟ قَالَ: أَقْضِي بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَإِنْ جَاءَكَ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ؟ " قَالَ: أَقْضِي بِمَا قَضَى بِهِ نَبِيُّهُ ﷺ، قَالَ: " فَإِنْ جَاءَكَ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيهِ نَبِيُّهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيهِ الصَّالِحُونَ ؟ " قَالَ: أَؤُمُّ الْحَقَّ جَهْدِي، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي بِمَا يَرْضَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ " ﷺ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Mu'adh to Yemen, he said: "O Mu'adh, by what will you judge?" He said: "I will judge by the Book of Allah." He said: "If a matter comes to you that is not in the Book of Allah?" He said: "I will judge by what his Prophet ﷺ judged by." He said: "If a matter comes to you that is not in the Book of Allah, and his Prophet did not judge concerning it, and the righteous did not judge concerning it?" He said: "I will strive for the truth to the utmost of my ability." He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Praise be to Allah, who has made the messenger of the Messenger of Allah judge by what the Messenger of Allah is pleased with" ﷺ
