[Machine] Abu Dardaa, Abu Ummamah, Wathilah ibn Al-Asqa'a, and Anas ibn Malik narrated: One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were discussing a matter of religion. He became extremely angry like we had never seen before. Then, he admonished us and said, "Wait, O Ummah of Muhammad! The people who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive arguing and disputing over matters of lesser importance."
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»
