أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ ، عَنْ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ :" مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَخْتَلِفُوا، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَوْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ، فَتَرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ، تَرَكَ السُّنَّةَ، وَلَوْ اخْتَلَفُوا، فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِقَوْلِ أَحَدٍ، أَخَذَ بِالسُّنَّةِ "
Yazid told us, on the authority of Al-Masoudi, on the authority of Aoun ibn Abdullah, who said: “I do not like that the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not disagree. If they agreed on something, and a man abandoned it, he abandoned the Sunnah. And if they disagreed, and a man took someone’s statement, he took the Sunnah.”
