[Machine] Abu Al-Darda, Abu Umamah, Watheela ibn Al-Asqa' and Anas ibn Malik narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us one day while we were discussing a matter of religion, and he became extremely angry like we had never seen before. Then we calmed down and he said, "Wait, O Ummah of Muhammad. Those who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive questioning and arguing about minor issues."
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»
