While on the pulpit, pointing with this fingers towards his ears,Nu’man bin Bashir said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)say:‘That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful isplain,and between them are matters that are not clear, about whichnot manypeople know. Thus he who guards against the unclear matters,he clearshimself with regard to his religion and his honor. But hewho fallsinto the unclear matters, he falls into that which isunlawful. Likethe shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all butgrazing therein.Every king has a sanctuary. And beware! Allah’ssanctuary is Hisprohibitions. Beware! In the body there is a pieceof flesh which, ifit is sound, the whole body will be sound, and ifit is corrupt, thewhole body will be corrupt. It is the heart.’” Translation Not Available
