Sunan an-Nasai 5386 (Book 49, Hadith 8) #19918
Patience and Decisions Before Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of patience and not making decisions before Allah and His Messenger.

'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair narrated that: A group from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet SAW. Abu Bakr said: "Appoint Al-Qa'qa' bin Ma'bad (as commander or governor)," and 'Umar said: "No, (appoint) Al-Aqra' bin Habis". They argued until they began to raise their voices, then the words were revealed: "O you who believe! Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger".. until the end of the Verse: "And if they had patience till you could come out to them, it would have been better for them".
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، قَدِمَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمِّرِ الْقَعْقَاعَ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ‏.‏ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رضى الله عنه بَلْ أَمِّرِ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ‏.‏ فَتَمَارَيَا حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا فَنَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَىِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ‏}‏ حَتَّى انْقَضَتِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of patience when making decisions. It tells us that we should not make any decision before consulting with Allah and His Messenger. The story behind this hadith is that a group from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet [SAW] and Abu Bakr said one thing while 'Umar said another, leading them to argue until they began to raise their voices. At this point, the words were revealed in Quran which state that it would have been better for them if they had waited patiently until a decision could be made by Allah or His messenger. This teaches us that we should always consult with God first before making any decisions, as He knows what is best for us in all situations. We must also practice patience when waiting for an answer from Him, as He will provide guidance at the right time if we are patient enough to wait for it.
