Hadith 67
67 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْظَمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ جُرْمًا مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ لَمْ يُحَرَّمْ فَحُرِّمَ عَلَي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِهِ»
‘Amir bin Sa’d narrates from his respected father Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The greatest sinner among the Muslims is the one who asks about something which was not forbidden, and then because of his questioning, it is declared forbidden for the people.”
