حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَکَرِيَّائَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَأَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَا فِيهِ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَی ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 109
It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that Nu'man b. Qaufal came to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Would I enter Paradise if I say the obligatory prayers and deny myself that which is forbidden and treat that as lawful what has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah)? The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) replied in the affirmative.
