[Machine] Abu Darda, Abu Umaamah, Wathilah ibn al-Asqa and Anas ibn Malik narrated to us, they said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us one day while we were having a discussion about a matter of religion, and he became extremely angry, angrier than we had ever seen him. Then he scolded us and said, "Wait a moment, O Ummah of Muhammad. Indeed those before you perished because of this, they took their disputes lightly due to the scarcity of their good deeds."
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»
