إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ فَرَائِضَ فَلَا تُضَيِّعُوهَا، وَحَدَّ حُدُودًا فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَا، وَسَكَتَ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ نِسْيَانٍ فَلَا تَتَكَلَّفُوهَا رَحْمَةً مِنَ اللهِ فَاقْبَلُوهَا
✧ Indeed Allah has ordained obligations, so do not neglect them; and He has set limits, so do not overstep them; and He has remained silent about many things, not out of forgetfulness, so do not seek them out—as a mercy from Allah, so accept them.
