حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ (١) ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْخُشَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا يَحِلُّ لِي، وَيُحَرَّمُ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: فَصَعَّدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَوَّبَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ، فَقَالَ (٢) : " الْبِرُّ مَا سَكَنَتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ، وَاطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ، ، الْقَلْبُ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا لَمْ تَسْكُنْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ، وَلَمْ يَطْمَئِنَّ إِلَيْهِ الْقَلْبُ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمُفْتُونَ "، وَقَالَ: " لَا تَقْرَبْ لَحْمَ الْحِمَارِ الْأَهْلِيِّ، وَلَا ذَا نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of Prophethood, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ), please tell me which things are lawful for me and which things are unlawful?" The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his head and looked at me from bottom to top and said, "Virtue is that which brings peace to the soul and satisfaction to the heart, and sin is that in which neither the soul finds peace nor the heart finds satisfaction, even if the muftis keep giving verdicts." And he said, "Do not go near the meat of domesticated donkeys and any predatory animal that hunts with its fangs."
