حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
سَدَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَاصِيَتَهُ، كَمَا يَسْدِلُ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ، ثُمَّ فَرَقَ بَعْدُ كَمَا تَفْرِقُ الْعَرَبُ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا شَكَّ فِي أَمْرٍ يَعْمَلُهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَأَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ - مَا لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِ وَحْيٌ - عَمِلَ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ let his forelock hang down as the People of the Book do, then later he parted it as the Arabs do. Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was uncertain about a matter practiced by the polytheists and the People of the Book - as long as no revelation had come concerning it - he would act according to the practice of the People of the Book.
