Hadith 6: Lawful and Unlawful (Halal wal Haram)

Numan ibn Bashir reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say:

That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are
doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears
himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that
which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein.
Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allahs sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the
body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be
diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart.
[Sahih Bukhari, Book 2, Number 50]

Hadith 7: Religion is Sincerity (an-Naseehah)
Tamim Al-Dari reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said three times:




Verily, the religion is sincerity.
We said, To whom? He said:

To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common
folk.

Hadith 8: Fighting in Defense of Islam (al-Jihad)
Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and until they perform the prayers and pay charity, and if

they do so they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they do
acts that are punishable] in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah the
Almighty.
[Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Number 33]
In another narration, the Prophet said:


I have been commanded to fight the idolaters
[Sunan An-Nasai, Book of Unlawfulness of Bloodshed, Number 3966, Sahih]
Ibn Taymiyah comments on this tradition, saying:




It refers to fighting those who are waging war, whom Allah has permitted us to fight. It does not refer to
those who have a covenant with us, whom Allah commands us to fulfill our covenant.
[Majmu' Al-Fatawa 19/20]

Hadith 9: Avoid Excessive Questioning
Abu Huraira reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say:


Avoid what I have forbidden for you, and do what I have commanded you as much as you are able.
Verily, the people before you were destroyed only because of their excessive questioning and
contradicting their prophets.
[Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Number 5818]
In another narration, the Prophet said:



Leave me with what I have left you. When I narrate a saying to you, then take it from me. Indeed,
the people before you were destroyed only because of their excessive questioning and disagreeing
with their prophets.
[Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book of Knowledge, Number 2679, Sahih]

Hadith 10: Allah is Pure and Accepts Only Pure

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

O people, verily, Allah is pure and He accepts only what is pure. Verily, Allah has commanded the
believers with that which He commanded His Messengers. He said: O Messengers, eat from good
things and work righteousness, for indeed I am knowing of what you do(23:51); and He said: O you
who believe, eat from good things with which We have provided you. (2:172)
Abu Huraira added:





Then he mentioned the case of a man who, having traveled very far, becomes disheveled and dusty and
he raises his hands to the sky, saying, O Lord! O Lord! while his food is unlawful, his drink is
unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he is nourished with the unlawful, so how can he be answered?
[Sahih Muslim, Book 5, Number 2214]
