4610. It was narrated from 'Āmir bin Sa'd that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The worst criminal among the Muslims is the one who asks about something that was not forbidden, but it becomes forbidden to the people because of his asking.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
4610 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ جُرْمًا، مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ لَمْ يُحَرَّمْ فَحُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِهِ»
