This Hadeeth puts the believer on the straight path, keeps him distant from the degraded matters, it warns him of extremism in religion and asking about the matters Allah has not mention and did not clearly state whether it is lawful or unlawful, or did not specify to the people a limit to which they refer, with no time or place to do or to stop doing it.
when I order you to do something, do it as far as you can; and when I forbid you from doing anything, avoid it
