Qais bin Abad (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu al-Yaqzan! Tell me, is the matter in which you people have become involved based on your own opinion, or is it a special instruction from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give us any special instruction that he did not give to the general people."
