Jurthum ibn Nashir, may Allah be pleased with him,
0:11
who reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:15
"Allah the Almighty has ordained religious obligations, so do not neglect them;
0:21
He has set boundaries, so do not transgress them;
0:24
He has forbidden certain things, so do not violate them;
0:28
and He has remained silent concerning other things—out of mercy for you, not out of forgetfulness—
0:32
so do not go searching for them."
0:35
A hasan hadith narrated by al-Daraqutni and others.

This hadith clarifies that the religion is established upon four principles:
0:46
the fulfillment of obligatory duties and the avoidance of prohibited matters,
0:50
stopping at the boundaries set by Allah without transgression,
0:54
and refraining from over-complicating matters by searching for things about which Allah has remained silent.
0:58
Thus, it contains an invitation to balance and ease,
1:01
and to distance oneself from extremism and excess.
