It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying. Imam Sha’bi says: Whenever I heard him say that he heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would lend my ear and draw near, fearing that I might not hear these words from anyone else, that he would say he heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, but between them are doubtful matters. Whoever leaves the doubtful thing to avoid sin, he will be more likely to leave the clearly sinful thing, and whoever dares to engage in the doubtful thing, it is likely that he will fall into the unlawful. Indeed, every king has a forbidden sanctuary, and in the land, the forbidden sanctuary of Allah Almighty is His disobedience or the things He has declared unlawful.
