[Machine] Abu Dardaa, Abu Umaamah, Waathilah bin al-Asqaa, and Anas bin Maalik narrated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us one day while we were engaged in discussing a matter of the religion. He became extremely angry like we had never seen before. Then he said, "Wait a moment, O Ummah of Muhammad! Indeed, those who were before you were destroyed because of their excessive arguing and disputing over trivial matters."
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»
