[Machine] Abu Dardaa, Abu Umaamah, Waathilah ibn Al-Asqaa, and Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us one day while we were discussing a matter of the religion, and he became extremely angry, angrier than we had ever seen him before. Then he calmed down and said, "Hold on, O nation of Muhammad, indeed those who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive questioning and disputing, due to their lack of appreciation for good."
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وأَبُو أُمَامَةَ ووَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ وأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالُوا خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ نَتَمَارَى فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدِّينِ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ انْتَهَرَنَا فَقَالَ «مَهْلًا يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِهَذَا أَخَذُوا الْمِرَاءَ لِقِلَّةِ خَيْرِهِ»
