Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) emphasised the importance of both; understanding and piety in his advice to Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu) when he asked, “O Messenger of Allah, if we were afflicted with a matter wherein there is no permissibility or prohibition, what do you instruct us to do? Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied:

“Consult the jurist and the pious, and do not independently pass a judgement.”

 

Answer

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith.

(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 1641)

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) states, ‘The narrators have been deemed credible (rijaluhu muwatthaqun min ahlis sahih). ‘Allamah Suyuti (rahimahullah) has also declared the Hadith authentic.

(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 1, pg. 178. Refer: Atharul Hadith of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah, pg. 206)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

المعجم الأوسط:
(١٦٤١) –
حدثنا أحمد قال: نا شباب العصفري قال: نا نوح بن قيس، عن الوليد بن صالح، عن محمد ابن الحنفية، عن علي قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، إن نزل بنا أمر ليس فيه بيان: أمر ولا نهي، فما تأمرنا؟ قال: «تشاورون الفقهاء والعابدين، ولا تمضوا فيه رأي خاصة».
لم يرو هذا الحديث عن الوليد بن صالح إلا نوح.

مجمع الزوائد: (١/ ١٧٨)
وعن علي قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، إن نزل بنا أمر ليس فيه بيان أمر ولا نهي، فما تأمرني؟ قال: «شاوروا [فيه] الفقهاء والعابدين، ولا تمضوا فيه رأي خاصة».
رواه الطبراني في الأوسط، ورجاله موثقون من أهل الصحيح.

أثر الحديث الشريف: (ص: ٢٠٦)
قال الهيثمي في «مجمع الزوائد» ١: ١٨٧: رواه الطبراني في الأوسط، ورجاله موثقون من أهل الصحيح. وصححه السيوطي في «مفتاح الجنة» ص٤٠.
