Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 221

وَعَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ ، فَإِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ غَلَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ ، حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَصِيرَةُ تَتَّخِذُ خُقَّيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ فَتَحْشُوهُمَا ، ثُمَّ تُولِجُ فِيهِمَا رِجْلَيْهَا ، ثُمَّ تَقُومُ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَرْأَةِ الطَّوِيلَةِ فَتَمْشِي مَعَهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ تَسَاوَتْ بِهَا ، وَكَانَتْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ يُوسُفُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ السَّمْتِيُّ . قَالَ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ : كَذَّابٌ خَبِيثٌ .
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) reports the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Beware of excess (ghuluww)! For many among the Children of Israel went to excess, to the point that a short woman had shoes made of wood, stuffed them, and put her feet into them. Then she stood beside a tall woman and walked with her, and she would appear equal to her in height, or taller than her."
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Yusuf bin Khalid al-Samti. Yahya bin Ma'in says: He is a kadhdhab (liar) and wicked.
