عن الْمِقدامِ بنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ رضى الله عنه أن النبيَّ ﷺ قال: «ألا هل عسى رجُلٌ يَبْلُغُه الحديثُ عَنِّي وهو مُتَّكِئٌ على أريكته، فيقول: بينَنا وبينَكم كتابُ الله، فما وجدْنا فيه حلالًا استَحْلَلناه، وما وجدْنا فيه حرامًا حرَّمناه، وإنَّ ما حرَّمَ رسولُ الله ﷺ كما حرَّمَ اللهُ». وفي لفظ أبي داودَ: «ألا إني أوتيتُ الكتابَ ومثلَه معه».
Al-Miqdām ibn Ma‘dī karib narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Perhaps someone is told a hadith I have said when he is reclining on his couch and he says: ‘Here is God’s Book between us: whatever we find in it to be permissible we will accept as permissible and whatever we find in it as forbidden we will accept as forbidden”. Know that what God’s Messenger has forbidden is just as God has forbidden. In Abu Dāwūd’s version: Know that I have been given the Book and its like with it. Related by Abu Dāwūd, 4604; al-Tirmidhī (his text), 2664; Ibn Mājah, 12.
Believers, obey God and obey the Messenger and those from among you who have been entrusted with authority. If you are in dispute over anything, refer it to God and the Messenger, if you truly believe in God and the Last Day. This is the best [for you], and most suitable for final determination.
(4: 59)
He who obeys the Messenger obeys God thereby. As for those who turn away – We have not sent you to be their keeper.
(4: 80)
We have now bestowed on you the reminder so that you may elucidate to mankind all that has been bestowed on them, and that they may take thought.
(16: 44)
Say: ‘Obey God, and obey the Messenger’. But if you turn away, he will have to answer only for whatever he has been charged with, and you, for what you have been charged with. If you obey him, you shall be rightly guided. The Messenger is not bound to do more than clearly deliver his message.
(24: 54)
He does not speak out of his own fancy. (3) That [which he delivers to you] is nothing less than a revelation sent down to him.
(53: 3-4)
Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it. Remain God-fearing; for God is severe in retribution.
(59: 7)
