حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْعُمَيْرِيُّ ثنا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا الرَّأْيَ عَلَى الدِّينِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَرُدُّ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَأْيِي اجْتِهَادًا فَوَاللهِ مَا آلُو عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ وَالْكِتَابُ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ «اكْتُبُوا بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ» فَقَالُوا تَرَانَا قَدْ صَدَّقْنَاكَ بِمَا تَقُولُ؟ وَلَكِنَّكَ تَكْتُبُ بِاسْمِكَ اللهُمَّ فَرَضِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبَيْتُ حَتَّى قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَرَانِي أَرْضَى وَتَأبَى أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ فَرَضِيتُ

✧ He said: O people, do not judge based on opinion in matters of religion. Indeed, you have seen me opposing the orders of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my own opinion as an effort. By Allah, that has not diverted me from the truth. This happened on the day of Abu Jandal, when the message was between the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people of Makkah. He said: "Write in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." They said: "Do you see that we have believed you in what you say?" However, you write in your own name, so that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will be satisfied. I refused until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "Do you see that I am satisfied and you refuse?" I said: "I am satisfied."
