حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ:
أَكْثَرُوا عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْنَا زَمَانٌ لَسْنَا نَقْضِي، وَلَسْنَا هُنَاكَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ [قَدَّرَ أَنْ بَلَغْنَا] [١]مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا تَرَوْنَ، فَمَنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ مِنْكُمْ قَضَاءٌ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ فَلْيَقْضِ بِمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ، فَإِنْ جَاءَهُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلْيَقْضِ بِمَا قَضَى بِهِ نَبِيُّهُ ﷺ، فَإِنْ جَاءَهُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَمْ يَقْضِ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُ، فَلْيَقْضِ بِمَا قَضَى بِهِ الصَّالِحُونَ، فَإِنْ أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ [وَلَا قَضَى] [٢]بِهِ نَبِيُّهُ [٣]ﷺ، [وَلَا قَضَى] [٤]بِهِ الصَّالِحُونَ فَلْيَجْتَهِدْ رَأْيَهُ [٥]، وَلَا يَقُولُ: إِنِّي أَخَافُ [٦]وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ، فَإِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ، فَدَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
The people pressed 'Abd Allah one day, and he said: "O people, a time has passed over us when we did not judge, and we were not in that position. Then Allah has brought us to the matter you see. Whoever among you is presented with a judgement after today, let him judge by what is in the Book of Allah. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah, let him judge by what his Prophet ﷺ judged by. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah and his Prophet did not judge by it, let him judge by what the righteous judged by. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah, and his Prophet ﷺ did not judge by it, and the righteous did not judge by it, then let him strive with his opinion, and let him not say: 'I fear, and I fear.' For the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are matters that are doubtful. So leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt."
