Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُ
جَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَوْمَأَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَ الْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُشْتَبِهَاتٍ لَا يَدْرِي كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ أَمِنَ الْحَلَالِ هِيَ أَمْ مِنْ الْحَرَامِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنْ وَاقَعَهَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ الْحَرَامَ فَمَنْ رَعَى إِلَى جَنْبِ حِمًى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ وَلِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ مَحَارِمُهُ

يحيى بن سعيد
English Translation
Hushaym narrated to us: Mughīrah informed us; and Abū ʿĀmir informed us, from Sufyān, from Mughīrah; both from al-Shaʿbī, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. So whoever avoids the doubtful matters has safeguarded his religion and his honor, and whoever falls into the doubtful matters falls into the unlawful, like the shepherd who grazes around a sanctuary, nearly grazing in it. Indeed, every king has a sanctuary, and indeed the sanctuary of Allah is His prohibitions.'
