أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنٌ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّا لَنُعْظِمُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ابْنَ إِمَامَيْ هُدًى، تَسْأَلُ عَنْ أَمْرٍ لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ فِيهِ عِلْمٌ. فَقَالَ: أَعْظَمُ وَاللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَعِنْدَ مَنْ عَرَفَ اللَّهَ وَعِنْدَ مَنْ عَقَلَ عَنِ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَقُولَ بِمَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ أَوْ أُخْبِرَ عَنْ غَيْرِ ثِقَةٍ.
مسند امام شافی · Hadith 1813
Tell us Sufian, Yahya bin Said, he said, asked the son of Abdullah ibn Umar on the issue, in which he did not say anything, was said to him: I glorify the Son Emami Huda be, you ask for something you do not have a flag. He said: The greatest of God is from that, with God and with those who know God and with those who are rational about God that I say about what is not with me, or nothing.
