256. Abu Hurayra meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ bertanya kepada Abu'l-Haytham, "Adakah kamu mempunyai hamba?" "Tidak," jawabnya. Baginda bersabda, "Datanglah kepada kami apabila kita mendapat beberapa tawanan." Nabi ﷺ hanya didatangi dengan dua orang tawanan. Abu'l-Haytham datang kepada baginda, lalu Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Pilihlah antara keduanya." "Pilihkanlah untuk saya, wahai Rasulullah," jawabnya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Orang yang dimintai pendapat ialah orang yang dipercayai. Ambillah yang ini. Aku telah melihatnya solat. Layanlah dia dengan baik." Isteri Abu'l-Haytham berkata, "Kamu tidak akan menunaikan kata-kata Nabi ﷺ mengenainya sehingga kamu membebaskannya." "Dia telah bebas," katanya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Allah tidak mengutus seorang Nabi atau khalifah melainkan dia mempunyai dua orang penasihat rapat: penasihat yang menyuruhnya melakukan kebaikan dan melarangnya daripada kejahatan, dan penasihat yang tidak akan lalai dalam merosakkan kamu. Sesiapa yang dipelihara daripada penasihat yang jahat itu, maka dia sungguh telah dipelihara."

256. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked Abu'l- Haytham, "Do you have a servant?" "No," he replied. He said, "Come to us when we get some captives." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was brought only two captives. Abu'l-Haytham came to him and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Choose between them." "Choose for me, Messenger of Allah," he replied. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The person who is consulted is in a position of trust. Take this one. I have seen him pray. Treat him well." Abu'l-Haytham's wife said, "You will not live up to the words of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about him until you set him free." "He is free," he stated. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah did not sent Prophet or kahlif but that he has two confidants: a confidant who commands him to do what is correct and forbids what is bad, and a confidant who will not fall short in corrupting you. Anyone who is protected from the evil confidant has been protected."

257. 'Amir bin Dinar berkata, "Ibnu 'Abbas membacakan (ayat ini), 'Dan bermusyawarahlah dengan mereka dalam urusan itu.' (3:159)"

257. 'Amir ibn Dinar said, "Ibn 'Abbas recited (this ayat), 'Consult with them about the matter.' (3:159)" .

258. Al-Hasan berkata, "Tidak ada orang yang meminta nasihat melainkan ia akan dibimbing kepada pilihan yang terbaik baginya." Kemudian beliau membaca, {dan urusan mereka dijalankan dengan musyawarah antara mereka} (42:38)

258. Al-Hasan said, "People never seek advice without being guided to the best possibility available to them." Then he recited, "and manage their affairs by mutual consultation." (42:38)

259. Abu Hurayra meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Sesiapa yang menisbahkan kata-kata kepadaku yang tidak aku ucapkan, hendaklah dia mengambil tempat duduknya di dalam Neraka. Sesiapa yang memberikan nasihat yang sesat kepada saudara Muslimnya ketika dia meminta pendapat, maka dia telah mengkhianatinya. Dan sesiapa yang mengeluarkan fatwa yang tidak tepat, maka dosa daripada tindakan yang salah itu terletak atas orang yang mengeluarkan fatwa tersebut."

259. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who attributes words to me which I did noy say should take his seat in the Fire. Anyone who gives his Muslim brother misguided advice when he consults has betrayed him. If anyone gives a fatwa which is not firm, the wrong action of that rests on the one who gave the fatwa."
