"Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said \"Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between them are (suspicious) doubtful matters. So whoever forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly illegal; and whoever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any moment.\"\n\nNarrated `Adi bin Hatim:\n\nI asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about Al Mirad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a piece of iron used for hunting). He replied, \"If the game is hit by its sharp edge, eat it, and if it is hit by its broad side, do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death.\" I asked, \"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I release my dog by the name of Allah and find with it at the game, another dog on which I have not mentioned the name of Allah, and I do not know which one of them caught the game.\" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to him), 'Don't eat it as you have mentioned the name of Allah on your dog and not on the other dog.'\"\n\nNarrated Anas:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a fallen date and said, \"Were it not for my doubt that this might have been given in charity, I would have eaten it.\" And narrated Abu Huraira the Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"I found a datefruit fallen on my bed.\"\n\nNarrated `Abbas bin Tamim:\n\nthat his uncle said: \"The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: If a person feels something during his prayer; should one interrupt his prayer?\" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: No! You should not give it up unless you hear a sound or smell something.\" Narrated Ibn Abi Hafsa: Az-Zuhri said, \"There is no need of repeating ablution unless you detect a smell or hear a sound.\"\n\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\nSome people said, \"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Meat is brought to us by some people and we are not sure whether the name of Allah has been mentioned on it or not (at the time of slaughtering the animals).\" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to them), \"Mention the name of Allah and eat it.\""
