- وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ قَالَ:
كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى قَالَ بِهِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَكَانَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَ بِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَا فِي قَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ أَخَذَ بِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَنْهُمَا اجْتَهَدَ رَأْيَهُ

- Ibn Abū ʿUmar
- Sufyān
- ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Yazīd
✧ When Ibn Abbas ؓ was asked about something, if it was in the Book of Allah, the Exalted, he would speak according to it. If it was not in the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and there was something from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would relate it. And if it was not in the Book of Allah nor in the judgment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there was something from Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ, he would adopt it. If there was nothing from them, he would exercise his own judgment.
