Jabir Narrated from:
A man was mentioned to Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as engaged in worship and religious effort while another was mentioned for keeping away from the doubtful (too along with the forbidden). The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It stand no comparison with abstinence." [1]
