<\/a><\/p>\nWhen Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) dispatched Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) to Yemen, he asked him, \u201cWhat procedure will you adopt when passing decisions in the affairs of the Muslims?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied: \u201cI will decide in accordance to the Qur\u2019aan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then asked him: \u201cIf a law is not found in the Qur\u2019aan, what will you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
He replied, \u201cI will refer to the Ahaadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).\u201d<\/p>\n
Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then questioned him: \u201cIf the ruling is not found in the Ahaadith, what will you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
He replied: \u201cI will employ my ability of reasoning (Ijtihaad) in reaching a conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon hearing this, Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said: \u201cAll praise be to Allah who inspired the messenger of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) (Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu)) with the correct guidance.\u201d (Sunan Tirmizi #1327)<\/p>\n
The purpose for Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) questioning Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) in the above manner was so that the people may realise his capability and have confidence in him. Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) desired that the people of Yemen should refer their Deeni matters to Hazrat Mu\u2019aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), and thereafter they should follow his decision without any reservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
