[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah bin Mas'ood, 'Verily, the Scriptures used to be revealed from the sky through one gate, and indeed the Quran was revealed through seven gates with seven modes: lawful, unlawful, decisive, ambiguous, parables, commands, and prohibitions. So, take what is lawful as lawful, what is unlawful as unlawful, adhere to what is decisive, contemplate the ambiguous, and consider the parables. Indeed, everything is from Allah, and only the people of understanding will take heed.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّ الْكُتُبَ كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَبْوَابٍ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ حَلَالٌ وَحَرَامٌ وَمُحْكَمٌ وَمُتَشَابِهٌ وَضَرْبُ أَمْثَالٍ وَآمِرٌ وَزَاجِرٌ فَحِلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرِّمْ حَرَامَهُ وَاعْمَلْ بِمُحْكَمِهِ وَقِفْ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ وَاعْتَبِرْ أَمْثَالَهُ فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
