حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ تَقْضِي؟» فَقَالَ: «أَقْضِي بِمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ». قَالَ: «فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ: «فَبِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ». قَالَ: «فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟» قَالَ: «أَجْتَهِدُ رَأْيِي». قَالَ: «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ».
