"عن على قال: قلتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنْ عَرَضَ لى أمْرٌ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ بَيَانُ أمْرِهِ وَلاَ سُنَّةٌ كيْفَ تَأمُرُنى؟ قَالَ: تَجْعَلُونَهُ شُورَى بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الفِقْهِ وَالْعَابِدِينَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنينَ، وَلاَ تَقْضِى فِيهِ بَرَأىٍ خَاصة".

"From ʿAlī, who said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if a matter comes up for me in which no clear ruling has been revealed and there is no Sunnah, how do you command me?' He said: 'Make it a matter of consultation between the people of understanding (fiqh) and the devout worshippers among the believers, and do not judge it by a private opinion.'"
