Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4530

وَعَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : مَا لَكَ لَا تَطْلُبُهُ كَمَا يَطْلُبُ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ ؟ قَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ عَقَبَةً كَؤُودًا لَا يَجُوزُهَا الْمُثْقِلُونَ ، فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَتَخَفَّفَ لِتِلْكَ الْعَقَبَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyidah Umm al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with her) reports from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him): I said to him: "Why is it that you do not seek (it) the way so-and-so and so-and-so seek?" He said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Ahead of you is a difficult mountain pass that the heavily laden will not be able to cross." (Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) So I like to remain lightly burdened for that pass.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
