"عَنْ شُرَيحٍ القَاضِى قَال: قَال لِى عُمَرُ بنُ الخَطَّابِ: أَنِ اقْضِ بمَا اسَتَبَان لَكَ مِن قضاء رسول اللَّه ﷺ فإن لم تعلم كل أَقْضِية رسول اللَّه فاقض بما استبانَ لك من أمرِ الأئمةِ المهتدين، فإن لم تعلم ما قَضَتْ به الأئمةُ، فاجتهد رأيك واستشر أهل العلم والصلاح".

"From Shurayh the judge, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said to me: 'Judge by what has become clear to you from the judgments of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If you do not know all the judgments of the Messenger of Allah, then judge by what has become clear to you from the affairs of the rightly guided imams. If you do not know what the imams judged, then exert your opinion and consult the people of knowledge and righteousness.'"
