Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 12

Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib Al-Kindi narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Soon there will come a time that a man will be reclining on his pillow, and when one of my Ahadith is narrated he will say: ‘The Book of Allah is (sufficient) between us and you. Whatever it states is permissible, we will take as permissible, and whatever it states is forbidden, we will take as forbidden.’ Verily, whatever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has forbidden is like that which Allah has forbidden.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏
“‏ يُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يُحَدَّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِي فَيَقُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَلاَلٍ اسْتَحْلَلْنَاهُ وَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَرَامٍ حَرَّمْنَاهُ ‏.‏ أَلاَ وَإِنَّ مَا حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِثْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 12
Hasan (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by Ibn Majah in the 9th century, the Sunan is a respected collection that completes the list of the Kutub al-Sittah, the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islam. It contains an estimated 4,000 narrations that comprehensively cover the spectrum of Islamic life, including issues of doctrine, law, morality, and society. A key point of discussion among scholars is its comparative authenticity. It is often noted that this collection includes a subset of narrations that are classified as weak or da’if, which are largely absent from the more stringent compilations like the two Sahihs. Therefore, while it is an essential resource, its usage often requires additional verification.
