6th Hadith Of The
Forty Hadith
On the
authority of Al-Numan bin Basheer, who said : I
heared the messenger of Allah say :
"That which is lawful is plain and that which is
unlawful is plain and between the two of them are
doubtful matters about which not many people know.
Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself
in regard to his religion and his honor, but he
who falls into doubtful matters falls into that
which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures
around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly
every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's
sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body
there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole,
all the body is whole and which, if it be
diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the
heart."
