Hadith 10028

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , قََالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَة ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، قََالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ ، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ ، فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَأْتُوهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ ، وَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ " .
It is narrated with the previous chain that I heard Abu al-Qasim (peace be upon him) saying: As long as I leave you regarding a matter, you also leave me regarding it, for the nations before you were only destroyed because of their excessive questioning and their disagreement with their prophets. So, whatever I forbid you from, abstain from it, and whatever I command you, do it to the best of your ability.
