Sahoba (ra) Payg'ambar (ﷺ) davrida ijtihod qilar edilar va hukmlarni istinbot qilishda bir-biridan farq qilar edilar, Payg'ambar (ﷺ) esa buni qabul qilar edi. Quyidagi voqealarda buni ko'rish mumkin:

The Sahabah (ra) used to make Ijtihad in the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and differ in their deduction of Ahkams and the Messenger (saw) accepted this. This can be seen in the following incidents:

1) Buxoriy Oisha roziyallohu anhodan rivoyat qiladi: Nabiy ﷺ Xandaq (ov’ra) jangidan qaytib, qurollarini yechib, g‘usl qilganlarida, Jibril alayhissalom kelib dedi: “Siz qurollarni yechdingizmi? Alloh haqqi, biz farishtalar hali qurollarimizni yechganimiz yo‘q. Shunday ekan, ularga qarshi yo‘lga chiqing.” Rasulullah ﷺ so‘radilar: “Qayerga borish kerak?” Shunda Jibril Banu Quraydaga ishora qildi. Nabiy ﷺ muazzinga azon aytishni buyurdilar va u odamlarga e’lon qildi:

1) Bukhari narrated from Aisha that when the Prophet (saw) returned from the battle of Khandaq (ditch) and laid down his arms and took a bath. Jibreel came and said, “You have laid down your arms? By Allah, we angels have not laid them down yet. So set out for them.” The Messenger (saw) asked, “where to go?” so Jibreel pointed towards Banu Qurayzah. The Prophet (saw) instructed the Mu`azzin to give Azan and so he announced to the people:

“Kim Allohga va Qiyomat kuniga iymon keltirgan bo‘lsa, u Asrni faqat Bani Qurayza (yurti)da o‘qisin.” Shunda ular Bani Qurayzaning qal’alari tomon yo‘l oldilar, ammo Payg‘ambar ﷺ ularga aytgan so‘zlarini turlicha tushundilar. Ba’zilari so‘zni lafziy ma’noda oldilar va Bani Qurayzaga yetguncha, Shomdan keyin ham namoz o‘qimadilar. Boshqalari esa bu so‘zning ma’nosi tezroq yetib borish kerak, deb tushundilar va Asrni Madinada yoki yo‘lda o‘qidilar. Payg‘ambar ﷺ bu haqda eshitganlarida, ularning hammasining ishini ma’qulladilar.32

“Whosoever believes in Allah and the Day of judgement he should not pray Asr except in Bani Qurayzah.” So thy headed towards the fortresses of Bani Qurayzah, however they had different understandings of what the Messenger (saw) had said to them. Some took the literal meaning and they did not pray until they reached Bani Qurayzah after Maghrib. And others took it to mean that they should go there quickly, so they prayed Asr in Madinah or on the way. When the Messenger (saw) heard about this he accepted the action of all them.32

2) Payg‘ambarimiz ﷺ Mu‘ozni Yamanga qozi sifatida yuborganlarida aytgan so‘zlari:

2) The saying of the Prophet (saw) when he sent Mu‟adh as Qadi to Yemen:

“Qaysi asosda hukm chiqarasan?” — dedi. U aytdi: Allohning Kitobi bilan. Payg‘ambar ﷺ dedilar: Agar uni u yerdan topa olmasang-chi? U aytdi: Allohning Elchisi ﷺning Sunnati bilan. Dedilar: Agar uni ham topa olmasang-chi? U aytdi: “Men o‘zim ijtihod qilaman”. Shunda Payg‘ambar ﷺ dedilar:

“By what will you pass judgement?‟ He said: By the Book of Allah. The Prophet (saw) said: If you do not find it there? He said: By the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saw). He said: And if you do not find it? He said: 'I will exercise my own Ijtihad‟. He (saw) said:

"Allohga hamd bo'lsin, U Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ning elchisini Alloh va Uning Elchisi ﷺ sevadigan narsaga muvofiq qilgan."33

“Praise be to Allah who has made the messenger of the Messenger of Allah to accord with what Allah and His Messenger loves.”33

3) Payg'ambar (s.a.v.) hadisi:

3) The Hadith of the Messenger (saw):

“Agar hakam hukm chiqarsa va ijtihod qilsa va to‘g‘ri bo‘lsa, unga ikki ajr bor. Agar xato qilsa, unga bir ajr bor.”34

“If a judge passes judgment and makes Ijtihad and he is right then he will have two rewards. And if he makes a mistake he will have one.”34

4) Allohning Elchisi ﷺ Sa‟d ibn Mu‟odhni Bani Qurayzah ustidan hakam qilib tayinladi. U ularga o‘lim jazosi berilishi va ularning bolalarini asir qilib olinishi haqida hukm chiqardi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ shunday dedi:

4) The Messenger of Allah (saw) made Sa‟d b. Mu‟adh to judge over Bani Qurayzah so he gave the judgment that they should be killed and their offspring to be taken prisoners. The Messenger (saw) said:

"Siz etti yetti osmon ustidan chiqqan hukm bergansiz."35

“You have given a judgment that is from above the seven heavens.”35

Ushbu misollardan ko'rinadiki, sahobalar Payg'ambar ﷺ zamonida ijtihod qilar edilar, u zot ﷺ ularning ijtihodlarini qabul qilar va to'g'ri topgan kishiga ikki ajr, xato topgan kishiga esa bir ajr berilishini aytar edilar.

From these examples we can see that the Sahabah used to make Ijtihad in the time of the Messenger (saw) and that he used to accept their Ijtihads and tell them that the one who got it right will get two rewards while the one who got it wrong will get one.
