When I say something contradicting the Book of Allaah

Reference: Al-Fulaani in Eeqaaz al-Himam p50, tracing it to Imaam Muhammad and then saying:

This does not apply to the mujtahid, for he is not bound to their views anyway, but it applies to the muqallid.

al-Imaam Abu Haneefah رحمه الله said:

When I say something contradicting the Book of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى or what is narrated from the Messenger ﷺ, then ignore my saying.
