ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Shuʿayb ibn al-Layth ibn Saʿd narrated to us: my father narrated to me, from my grandfather, who said: Khālid ibn Yazīd narrated to me, from Saʿīd ibn Abī Hilāl, from ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from ʿĀmir al-Shaʿbī, that he heard Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr ibn Saʿd, the companion of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was addressing the people in Ḥimṣ, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear." Then he narrated the like of the ḥadīth of Zakariyyā, from al-Shaʿbī, up to his saying: "he is about to fall into it."
