"عن عثمان بن عبد اللَّه بن موهب قال: مر جبيرُ بن مطعمٍ على ماءٍ فسألوه عن فَرِيضةٍ، فقال: لا عِلْمَ لِى، ولكنْ أَرْسِلُوا مَعِى حَتَّى أَسْألَ لكم عنها، فأرسلوا معه، فأتى عمر فسأله، فقالَ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَقيهًا عَالمًا فَلْيَفْعَلْ كَمَا فَعَلَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ مُطعَمٍ؛ سُئِلَ عَمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُ، فَقَالَ: اللَّه أَعْلَمُ".

"From 'Uthman ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Mawhab, who said: Jubayr ibn Mut'im passed by a water source, and they asked him about an inheritance matter. He said: I have no knowledge of it, but send with me until I ask about it for you. They sent with him, and he came to 'Umar and asked him. 'Umar said: Whoever would be pleased to be a learned jurist, let him do as Jubayr ibn Mut'im did: he was asked about what he did not know, and he said: Allah knows best."
