Arabic hadith text
وَعَن أبي ثَعْلَبَة الْخُشَنِي قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَرَضَ فَرَائِضَ فَلَا تُضَيِّعُوهَا وَحَرَّمَ حُرُمَاتٍ فَلَا تَنْتَهِكُوهَا وَحَدَّ حُدُودًا فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَا وَسَكَتَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ نِسْيَانٍ فَلَا تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهَا» . رَوَى الْأَحَادِيثَ الثَّلَاثَةَ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ
Translation
Abū Thaʿlaba al-Khushanī reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘God has prescribed obligations, so do not neglect them; He has forbidden things, so do not violate them; He has set limits, so do not transgress them; and He has left some things unmentioned—not out of forgetfulness—so do not investigate them.’ Al-Dāraquṭnī transmitted this among three reports.
