1561. It was reported from Habīb Al-Mālikī, who said that a person said to 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain: “O Abū Nujaid! You narrate to us Aḥādīth which we do not find any basis for in the Qur'ān.” So 'Imrān became angry with him, and said: “Have you found (in the Qur'ān) that for every forty Dirham, you must give one Dirham? And from such and such a number of goats, that you must give such a number? And from such and such a number of camels, that you must give such and such a number? Have you found any of this in the Qur'ān?” He replied: “No.” So he said: “So who did you get this from? You took this from us, and we took it
from the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ," and he mentioned other matters similar to this. (Hasan)

Commentary
There is an indication in the Hadīth that rejection of Hadīths (as one of the sources of law) is not a new phenomenon, and also, the idea that a Hadīth could not be accepted if a basis is not found for it in the Qur'ān. Such false principles appeared as early as the later years of the Companions.
