The Holy Quran 42:38 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

Translation

(These people who shall have Allaah's eternal reward are) Those who respond to (the commands of) their Rabb, who establish salaah, whose affairs are (decided) by mutual consultation (counsel) between themselves, and who spend (in charity) from what We have provided for them.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Prophet ﷺ constantly consulted the Companions ﵃ in important matters, and the Companions consulted one another, both about wars and the like and about certain questions and rulings [of the shariah].
