The Guessers—Described by Imaam Bukhaari and Imaam Nawawi


بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) said, ‘Chapter:  Learning about the Laws of Inheritance.  Uqbah Bin Aamir said, ”Learn (the laws of Inheritance) before those who depend on Az-Zan (guessing), namely, those who base their judgment on mere presumption.”[1]

 

Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) stated after this statement of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullaah): ”The meaning of this is (that) you should learn from those who possess true precision, expertise and fear of Allaah before they go away (through death) and then there appears a people who speak about knowledge in conformity with the desires of their souls and with presumptions, which have no (clear or unambiguous) proof in the Islamic legislation.
