Sunan Abi Dawud 4666 (Book 42, Hadith 71) #24957
Seeking Guidance from the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Qais b. 'Abbad asking 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) about the march he was leading and whether it was an order from the Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) or his own opinion.

Qais b. 'Abbad said : I said to 'All (Allah be pleased with him) : Tell me about this march of yours. Is this an order that the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) had given you, or is this your opinion that you have? He said: The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) did not give me any order; but this is an opinion that I have.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهُذَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَادٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ رضى الله عنه أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ مَسِيرِكَ هَذَا أَعَهْدٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَمْ رَأْىٌ رَأَيْتَهُ فَقَالَ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِشَىْءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ رَأْىٌ رَأَيْتُهُ
