[Machine] Abu Darda, Abu Umamah, Wathilah ibn al-Asqa, and Anas ibn Malik narrated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us one day while we were discussing a matter of the religion. He became extremely angry, angrier than we had ever seen him. Then he calmed down and said, "Wait a moment, O Ummah of Muhammad. Those who came before you perished because of this: they took disputes lightly due to their lack of 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»
