2451. Rabī'ah bin Yazīd and 'Atīyyah bin Qais narrated from 'Atīyyah As-Sa'dī – and he was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ – that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The servant shall not reach the state of being among the Muttaqīn until he leaves what there is no harm in out of caution for its harm." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route.
٢٤٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَقِيلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَعَطِيَّةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ السَّعْدِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَبْلُغُ الْعَبْدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ» حَتَّى يَدَعَ مَا لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ حَذَرًا لِمَا بِهِ الْبَأْسُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

The expression "What there is no harm in" means the things allowed and permitted in the Sharī'ah. We should not, therefore, take the permissibility aspect of the things as enough justification for doing them but try to do what is most desirable and best.
