Another example is the Saying of Allah, "And those
who yaknizu ( 'Kanz' means hoarding up) gold and silver,
and spend it not in the Way of Allah, announce unto them
a painful torment."
Apparently, this verse means that any kind of hoarding or
collection of money that is not spent in the Way of Allah
will doom one to the painful torment but the Sunnah
clarifies that Kanz refers to the wealth on which Zakaat
has not been paid.
In Soorah al-Maida (5): 3, Allah says, "Forbidden to
you (for food) are: al-Maytatah (the un-slaughtered dead
animals), blood…"
The general rule in this verse prohibits all Maytatah
and all forms of blood but the Prophet � made exceptions
to this rule. He � said, "We were allowed two dead animals
and two (kinds of) blood. As for the two dead animals, they
are fish and locust. As for the two bloods, they are liver and
spleen."
[Introduction to the Sunnah by Dr Suhaib Hassan]

from al-Munkar (the prohibited); he allows them as lawful
at-Taiyibaat (i.e. all good), and prohibits them as unlawful
