Persuasion in issues of consensus 4/1

This book - "Al-Iqna' fi Masail al-Ijma'" - is noble in its content, unique in its scope, precise in its structure and methodology, its example is rare, and it has been difficult for students and researchers for centuries until Allah the Most High made it easy and permitted that. So all praise and thanks are due to Him. As for its content, it has gathered many issues upon which scholars of Islam have agreed - or nearly agreed - in beliefs, acts of worship, transactions, morals, and manners. Consensus holds a great position in religion, and its influence is significant in life. The decisive proofs and the foundational rules of this religion - Islam - are: the Noble Book which falsehood cannot approach from before it or behind it, the authentic prophetic Sunnah, and the consensus of scholars of sound reason and understanding. Anything beyond that, like analogy and others, is subordinate to and based upon these. The Imams of Muslims from the righteous predecessors have emphasized the importance and position of consensus in jurisprudence and legislation. Abu Ishmael al-Kufi said: I asked Ata ibn Abi Rabi'ah about something, and he answered me. I said: From whom? He said: What the Ummah has agreed upon is stronger with us than the chain of narration.
