Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَلَالٌ بَيِّنٌ وَحَرَامٌ بَيِّنٌ وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَةٌ فَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَا اشْتَبَهَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْإِثْمِ أَوْ الْأَمْرِ فَهُوَ لِمَا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُ أَتْرَكُ وَمَنْ اجْتَرَأَ عَلَى مَا شَكَّ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ مَا اسْتَبَانَ وَمَنْ يَرْتَعْ حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكْ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهُ.
English Translation
Mu'ammal told us: Sufyan told us, from Abu Farwa, from al-Sha'bi, from al-Nu'man b. Bashir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Lawful is clear and unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. Whoever leaves what is doubtful to him of sin or of a matter is more likely to leave what is clear to him, and whoever is bold regarding what he doubts is liable to fall into what is clear; and whoever grazes around a private pasture is liable to fall into it."
