[Machine] Abu Darda, Abu Umama, Wathila bin Al-Asqa, and Anas bin Malik narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us one day while we were discussing something in the matter of religion, and he became extremely angry in a way that we had never seen before. Then he calmed down and said, "Wait, O Ummah of Muhammad! Those who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive questioning and disagreement despite the abundance of their goodness."
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»
