"Abu’l-Qasim al-Baghawi
narrated that Maymun ibn Mihran said:
“Abu Bakr, when a dispute was
brought to him, used to look in the Book of Allah. Then if he found there the
basis for a judgement between the disputants he would give judgement on that
basis. If there was nothing in the Book and he knew a Sunnah on that matter
from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless and grant him and his family
peace, he would give judgement by that. If he could not find the right way he
would go out and ask the Muslims, and say, ‘Such and such has come to me, so do
you know whether the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, gave any judgement on that?’ Perhaps a group would gather around him,
everyone of them mentioning a judgement of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. Abu Bakr would say, ‘Praise belongs to Allah Who
has put among us those who preserve and memorise from our Prophet.’ If he was
unable to find a Sunnah about it from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, he would gather the leaders and the best of the people
and seek their counsel. If they would agree on a view he would give judgement
by that. cUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, used to do that. If he was
unable to find some way in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, he would look to see if
Abu Bakr had given a judgement on it. If he found that Abu Bakr had already
given judgement on it he would pass judgement on the basis of that judgement.
If not, he would call the leaders of the Muslims and if they would agree
unanimously on a matter he would give judgement on that basis"[2].
