Hadith 2366

عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أُنْطَلِقَ بِنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيَفْرِضَ لَنَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ وَكُنَّا بِفَجِّ النَّاقَةِ صَلَّى بِنَا الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَدَخَلَ فُسْطَاطَهُ وَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى رَكْعَتَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ الْوُجُوهَ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَصَابَتِ السُّنَّةَ وَلَا قَبِلَتِ الرُّخْصَةَ، فَأَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَتَعَمَّقُونَ فِي الدِّينِ يَمْرُقُونَ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Forty Ansari men were sent by us to ‘Abd al-Malik in Syria, so that he might appoint something for us. When he (Anas, may Allah be pleased with him) returned and we reached the place of Fajj al-Naqah, he led us in the ‘Asr prayer, performing two rak‘ahs, and after saying salam, he went into his tent. But what happened was that the (followers) stood up and began to perform two more rak‘ahs along with those two. Upon this, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May Allah disfigure these faces! By Allah, they have neither attained the Sunnah nor accepted the concession. I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Indeed, some people will go to extremes and excess in the religion, but then will leave the religion just as an arrow leaves the prey.
