This Playlist is a "remastering" of the 'Explanation Kitāb at-Tawhīd' series done by Abu Talhah Dawood Burbank Rahimahullah. The original lessons took place from 1997 onwards for several years. These lessons were digitalised and uploaded from the original cassette recordings around 10 years ago, however, the sound quality was very poor. Also, those original uploads contained duplicate files etc.. 

We have worked upon each track individually and made them more pleasing sonically. 

May Allah have mercy upon our teacher and noble companion and his wife, and grant them the highest levels of paradise.

Text of the ḥadīth:

عن [أبي عبدِ اللهِ النُّعمانِ بنِ بَشيرٍ] رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُما قالَ: سَمِعْتُ رسولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يقولُ: إنَّ الحَلاَلَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُما أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ فَقَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وعِرْضِهِ، ومَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَامِ، كَالرَّاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلاَ وإِنَّ حِمَى اللهِ مَحَارِمُـهُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلاَ وهِيَ الْقَلْبُ. رواه البخاريُّ ومسلمٌ.

From Abī ‘Abdillāh an-Nu’mān b. Bashīr (رضى الله عنهما) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying, "That which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear and between the two are ambiguous matters which many people do not know of. So whoever took caution regarding the ambiguous matters has absolved himself regarding his religion and his honour. And whoever fell into the doubtful matters has fallen into the unlawful, just like the shepherd who grazes his flock around the sanctuary (of a king), all but grazing therein. Indeed, every king has a sanctuary (that cannot be violated) and indeed the sanctuary of Allāh is his prohibitions. Indeed, there is a morsel of flesh in the body which if it is sound the whole body is sound and which if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart."
