Hadith #2923
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ" إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ الْأَمْرِ فَكَانَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ، أَخْبَرَ بِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَك
َانَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخْبَرَ بِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، فَعَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، قَالَ فِيهِ بِرَأْيِهِ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that when he was asked about a matter: if it was in the Quran, he would inform based on it. If it was not in the Quran but was from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would inform based on it. If it was not in the Quran nor from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but was from Abu Bakr and Umar, he would inform based on it. If it was none of the above, he would give his own considered opinion.
