١٠٥. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): إِنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَرَائِضَ فَلَا تُضَيِّعُوهَا وَحَدَّ لَكُمْ حُدُوداً فَلَا تَعْتَدُوهَا وَنَهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَلَا تَنْتَهِكُوهَا وَسَكَتَ لَكُمْ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْهَا نِسْيَاناً فَلَا تَتَكَلَّفُوهَا.

Translation

105. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Allah has placed on you some obligations which you should not ignore, laid down for you limits which you should not transgress and prohibited you from certain things which you should not violate. He has kept silent about certain things but has not left them out through forgetfulness, so do not burden yourself with them.
