"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْنَا زَمَانٌ لَسْنَا نَقْضى، وَلَسْنَا هُنَاك، وَإِنَّ الله قَدْ بَلَّغَنَا مَا تَرَوْنَ، فَمَنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ منْكُمْ قَضَاء بَعْدَ الْيَومِ فَلْيَقْض فيه بِمَا في كِتَاب الله، فإِنْ أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِى كِتَاب الله فَلْيَقْضِ فِيه بِمَا قَضَى بِه رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَإِنْ أَتَاةُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ في كِتَاب الله (وَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيه رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ) () فَلْيَقْضِ بِمَا قَضَى بِهِ الصَّالحُونَ، فَإِنْ أَتَاهُ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ فِى كتَاب الله وَلَمْ يَقْضِ فيهِ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيهِ الصَالِحُونَ فَلْيَجْتَهِدْ رَأيَهُ، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: إِنَّى أَخَافُ، وَإنِّى أَرَى؛ فَإِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَاَلْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَةٌ، فَدَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَريبُكَ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: A time has come upon us when we did not judge, nor were we in that position, but Allah has brought us to what you see. Whoever among you faces a case to judge after today, let him judge by what is in the Book of Allah. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah, let him judge by what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ judged. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah (and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not judge concerning it) (), let him judge by what the righteous judged. If a matter comes to him that is not in the Book of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not judge concerning it, and the righteous did not judge concerning it, let him exert his own opinion. Let none of you say: I fear, and I see; for the lawful is clear, the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. So leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt."
