55. Mu'âdh bin Jabal said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ 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')

Arabic text

55 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ سَجَّادَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ: «لَا تَقْضِيَنَّ وَلَا تَفْصِلَنَّ إِلَّا بِمَا تَعْلَمُ، وإنْ أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ، فَقِفْ حَتَّى تَبَيَّنَهُ أَوْ تَكْتُبَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ»
