حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَنْعُمٍ هُوَ الْإِفْرِيقِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِلْمُ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَمَا وَرَائَ ذَلِکَ فَهُوَ فَضْلٌ آيَةٌ مُحْکَمَةٌ أَوْ سُنَّةٌ قَائِمَةٌ أَوْ فَرِيضَةٌ عَادِلَةٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 54
It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allah s.a.w.w. said: ‘Knowledge is based on three things, and anything beyond that is superfluous: a clear Verse, an established Sunnah, or the rulings by which the inheritance is divided fairly.’” (Da’if)
