عن النُّعمان بن بَشير رضي الله عنه قال: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ -وَأَهْوَى النُّعْمَانُ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ-: «إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ لَا 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، أَلَا وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلَا وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللهِ مَحَارِمُهُ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً، إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ».
Imepokewa Kutoka kwa Nuuman bin Bashiri -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: Nilimsikia Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akisema: Nuuman akashusha vidole vyake masikioni mwake-" "Hakika halali iko wazi, na hakika haramu iko wazi na kati ya halali na haramu kuna mambo yenye kutatiza, hawayajui mambo hayo wengi miongoni mwa watu, atakaye yaepuka mambo yenye kutatiza, basi atakuwa kaihifadhi dini yake na heshima yake, na atakayeingia katika mambo yenye kutatiza atakuwa kaingia katika haramu, ni kama mfano wa mchunga mifugo mwenye kuchungia kando kando ya mipaka wanahofiwa (mifugo wake) kuingia humo, tambueni na hakika kila Mfalme ana mipaka yake, na tambueni kuwa mipaka ya Mwenyezi Mungu ni makatazo yake, na tambueni kuwa katika mwili kuna kipande cha nyama, kikitengemaa mwili mzima unatengemaa, na kikiharibika, mwili mzima unaharibika, tambueni kipande hicho ni moyo."
An-Nu'mān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say, as An-Nu'mān dropped his two fingers to his ears: "Verily, the lawful is clear, and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters many people do not know. Whoever avoids doubtful matters clears his liability regarding his religion and his honor, and whoever falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful, just like the shepherd who grazes his animals in the vicinity of a prohibited pasture and is thus likely to graze therein. Verily, every king has a protected area, and the protected area of Allah is His prohibitions. Verily, in the body, there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the entire body will be sound, and if it is corrupt, the entire body will be corrupt; verily, that is the heart."
Himizo la kuacha yenye kutatiza, ambayo hukumu yake haijabainika.
