[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Verily, the limits of Islam encompass everything." He was asked, "How do we act, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Refer to my sayings, and whatever agrees with the Book, then it is from me, as I have said it."

الطبراني:١٤٢٩ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ثنا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ رَحَى الْإِسْلَامِ دَائِرَةٌ» قَالَ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «اعْرِضُوا حَدِيثِي عَلَى الْكِتَابِ فَمَا وَافَقَهُ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا قُلْتُهُ»
