[Machine] I learned it from Abu Furwah first, then from Mujalid, who heard it from Al-Sha'abi saying: I heard Nu'man ibn Bashir saying: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'When I used to hear him saying, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying,' I would pay attention, draw near, and fear that I would not hear anyone else saying, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying,' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'What is halal (lawful) is clear, what is haram (forbidden) is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. Whoever avoids the doubtful matters has protected his religion and honor. And whoever indulges in the doubtful matters has fallen into the haram (forbidden), just like the shepherd who grazes his flock around a pasture, all but grazing therein. Truly, every king has a protected sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions on the earth. Truly, his prohibitions are what He has made unlawful.'"
