Hadith 1851

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ جَمْعٍ : " هَلُمَّ الْقُطْ لِي " , فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ حَصَيَاتٍ ، هُنْ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، بِأَمْثَالِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ ، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالْغُلُوِّ فِي الدِّينِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me on the morning of Muzdalifah: "Come here and pick up pebbles for me." I picked up some pebbles that were like date stones. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took them in his hand and said: "Yes! Pebbles should be like this. Beware of exaggeration in religion, for those before you were destroyed because of exaggeration in religion."
