"عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا بَعَثَ عُمَرُ شُرَيْحًا عَلَى قَضَاءِ الْكُوفَةِ قَاَل: (انظر) مَا تَبَيَّن لَكَ في كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا، وَمَا لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَكَ في كِتَابِ اللهِ فَاتَّبِعْ فِيهِ السُّنَّةَ، وَمَا لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَكَ في السُّنَّةِ فَاجْتَهِدْ فِيهِ رَأيَكَ".

"From al-Sha'bi, who said: When 'Umar appointed Shurayh as judge of Kufah, he said: (Look) at what is clear to you in the Book of Allah, do not ask anyone about it; and what is not clear to you in the Book of Allah, follow the Sunnah concerning it; and what is not clear to you in the Sunnah, then exercise your own judgment (ijtihad) concerning it."
