أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو الزَّجَّاجِيَّ،
يَقُولُ: " كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَسْتَحْسِنُهُ عُقُولُهُمْ وَطَبَائِعُهُمْ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَدَّهُمْ إِلَى الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالِاتِّبَاعِ فَالْعَقْلُ الصَّحِيحُ الَّذِي يَسْتَحْسِنُ مَحَاسِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَيَسْتَقْبِحُ مَا يَسْتَقْبِحُهُ "

He says: "In the Jāhiliyyah people used to follow what their minds and natures found good. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and returned them to the Sharīʿah and to following it. So the sound intellect is the one that finds good the excellences of the Sharīʿah, and finds ugly what it finds ugly."
