The Shaykh : And in this hadith is evidence that the Salaf (may Allah have mercy on them) would decline to issue fatwas, with each one saying to the other, "You are better than me," which is contrary to the state of people today, where they rush to issue fatwas, and each one wants to be the one who issues the ruling, even if there is someone present who is more knowledgeable than him. Yes.
