"عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ: قال رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ أَنْزَلَ كِتَابًا وَافْتَرَضَ فَرَائِضَ فَلَا تُنقِصُوهَا، وَحَدَّ حُدُودًا فَلَا تَغيَّرُوهَا وَحَرَّمَ مَحارِمَ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا، وَسَكَتَ عَنْ أَشيَاءَ لَمْ يَسْكُتْ عنْهَا نِسْيَانًا كَانَتْ رَحْمَةً مِنَ الله فَاقْبَلُوهَا، إِنَّ اصْحَابَ الرَّأيِ أَعْداءُ السُّنَنِ، تَفَلَّتَتْ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَعُوها وأَعْيَتْهُمْ أَنْ يَحْفَظُوهَا، وَسُلِبُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا: لَا نَعْلَمُ، فَعَارَضُوا السُّنَنِ بِرَأيهِمْ، فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَإياهُمْ، فَإِنَّ الحَلَالَ بيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ (وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ شُبُهَاتٌ، مَنْ اجْتَنَبَهُنَّ كَانَ أوْفَرَ لدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ وَمَنِ اجْتَرَأَ عَلَيْهِم وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَامِ) كَالمُرْتع حَوْلَ الحِمَى أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يُوَافِقَهُ، أَلَا وَإنَّ لكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، وَحِمَى اللهِ في أَرْضِهِ مَحَارِمُهُ".

"Narrated from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed Allah sent down a Book and prescribed obligations, so do not diminish them; He set limits, so do not change them; and He forbade prohibitions, so do not approach them; and He remained silent about things, not out of forgetfulness, as a mercy from Allah, so accept them. Indeed, the people of opinion are enemies of the Sunan. They failed to memorize them, were unable to preserve them, and were deprived of saying: 'We do not know.' So they opposed the Sunan with their opinion. So beware of them and beware of their ways, for the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. Whoever avoids them has preserved his religion and his honor, and whoever ventures upon them falls into the unlawful, like the grazer around the protected pasture who is about to enter it. Verily, every king has a protected pasture, and the protected pasture of Allah on His earth is His prohibitions."
