Truly
I am a mortal...
Imaam Maalik ibn Anas (rahima-hullaah)
said:
((Truly
I am only a mortal: I make mistakes (sometimes) and I am correct
(sometimes). Therefore, look into my opinions: all that agrees
with the Book and the Sunnah,
accept it; and all that does not agree with the Book and the
Sunnah,
ignore it)).
Ibn
'Abdul Barr in Jaami' Bayaan al-'Ilm (2/32), Ibn Hazm, quoting
from the former in Usool al-Ahkaam (6/149), and similarly
Al-Fulaani (p. 72)
