عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ جُرْثُومِ بن نَاشِر رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَال: "إنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَرَضَ فَرَائِضَ فَلَا تُضَيِّعُوهَا، وَحَدَّ حُدُودًا فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَا، وَحَرَّمَ أَشْيَاءَ فَلَا تَنْتَهِكُوهَا، وَسَكَتَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ رَحْمَةً لَكُمْ غَيْرَ نِسْيَانٍ فَلَا تَبْحَثُوا عَنْهَا". حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ ْ"في سننه" [4/184]، وَغَيْرُهُ.
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
On the authority of Abu Tha‘labah al-Khushani, Jurthum ibn Nashir (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Allah, Exalted is He, has prescribed obligations, so do not neglect them; set limits, so do not overstep them; forbidden things, so do not violate them; and remained silent about things, as a mercy to you, not out of forgetfulness, so do not inquire into them.’ A hasan hadith, narrated by al-Daraqutni in his Sunan [4/184] and others.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ ْ"في سننه" [4/184]،
The Arabic contains an anomalous diacritic/quotation sequence around ‘in his Sunan’; the English rendering follows the apparent wording while preserving the citation.
Can the title formatting be checked against a clean edition?
رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ ْ"في سننه" [4/184]،
The English witness omits the Arabic source’s title ‘his Sunan’ and the reference [4/184].
Can the locator be verified in the cited edition? The Arabic locator is retained.
