حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ سَجَّادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی الْيَمَنِ قَالَ لَا تَقْضِيَنَّ وَلَا تَفْصِلَنَّ إِلَّا بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فَإِنْ أَشْکَلَ عَلَيْکَ أَمْرٌ فَقِفْ حَتَّی تَبَيَّنَهُ أَوْ تَکْتُبَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 55
Mu’âdh bin Jabal said: “When the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H sent me to Yemen, he said: ‘Do not pass any judgement or make any decision except on the basis of what you know. If you are uncertain about a matter, wait until you understand it fully, or write to me concerning it.’” (Maudu’)
