Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Do not precede Allah and His Messenger”

Question:
I return to the question from the questions of the brother Abu Zayd (may Allah preserve you) from Riyadh. He says: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted What is intended by that?

Answer:
The intention is that a person does not propose to Allah or to His Messenger that He should say such and such or rule such and such. If a problem or incident occurs, he refers to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and he does not give a ruling or a solution to the problem from other than the Book and the Sunnah. He is the Messenger of Allah; do not hasten with judgments regarding things or events until you refer to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is after the death of the Messenger. As for during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they were to be polite with him (peace and blessings be upon him) and not precede him in speech. Yes.
