أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ ، عَنْ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ :" مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَخْتَلِفُوا، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَوْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ، فَتَرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ، تَرَكَ السُّنَّةَ، وَلَوْ اخْتَلَفُوا، فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِقَوْلِ أَحَدٍ، أَخَذَ بِالسُّنَّةِ "

'Awn ibn 'Abdullah said: 'I would not like for the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) not to have differed. For had they agreed on one thing and a man abandoned it, he would have abandoned the Sunnah. But because they differed, if a man follows the view of any one of them, he has followed the Sunnah.'
