Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7063 — from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub

وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ وَالزَّهْوَ، فَإِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ غَلَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَصِيرَةُ تَتَّخِذُ خُفَّيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ تَحْشُوهُمَا، ثُمَّ تُولِجُ فِيهِمَا رِجْلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ تَعَمَدُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الطَّوِيلَةِ، فَتَمْشِي مَعَهَا، فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ سَاوَتْ بِهَا , أَوْ كَانَتْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا»
Through the same chain, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of going to extremes and of vanity, for many of the Children of Israel went to extremes, to the point that a short woman would make a pair of wooden shoes and stuff them, then put her feet into them, then go to a tall woman and walk with her, and she would be equal to her or even taller than her."
