Hadeeth Six

الحديث السادِس
عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُما قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ الْحَلاَلَ بَيِّنٌ، وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا أُمُوْرٌ مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ، لا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ؛ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ؛ وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَامِ؛ كَالرَّاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ، أَلا! وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلاَ! وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللهِ مَحَارِمُهُ، أَلا! وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً، إِذَا صَلَحَتْ؛ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ؛ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلا! وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ

Abu 'Abdullah an-Nu'man ibn Bashir (radhi Allahu 'anh) said,
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) saying, 'The halal is clear and the haram is clear and in between them are ambivalent matters which many people do not know. Whoever guards himself against ambivalent matters has gone to the utmost limit in seeking to be clear in his din and his honour. Whoever falls into ambivalent matters will fall into the haram, like the shepard who shepards [his flock] around forbidden pasturage, he is certain to pasture [his flock] in it. Surely, every king has his forbidden pasturage. Surely, Allah's forbidden pasturage is the things He has forbidden. Surely, in the body there is a lump of flesh which when it is sound the whole body is sound and when it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.' "

Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated it.
