Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرِو ابْنِ أَخِي الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ نَاسٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، قَالَ :" أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَكَ قَضَاءٌ كَيْفَ تَقْضِي؟ "، قَالَ : أَقْضِي بِكِتَابِ
اللَّهِ، قَالَ : " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟ "، قَالَ : فَبِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ؟ "، قَالَ : أَجْتَهِدُ رَأْيِي وَلَا آلُو، قَالَ : فَضَرَبَ صَدْرَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لِمَا يُرْضِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) through people from Hims among the companions of Mu'adh that the Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'adh to Yemen. He said: How will you judge when a matter is brought before you? He said: I will judge by the Book of Allah. He said: And if you do not find it in the Book of Allah? He said: Then by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: And if you do not find it in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah? He said: Then I will strive to give my own considered judgment and not fall short. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck his chest and said: Praise be to Allah who has guided the messenger of the Messenger of Allah to that which pleases the Messenger of Allah.
