حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ يَوْمًا أَمْشِي ، فَإِذَا بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَوَجِّهًا ، فَظَنَنْتُهُ يُرِيدُ حَاجَةً ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَخْنَسُ عَنْهُ وَأُعَارِضُهُ ، فَرَآنِي فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَمْشِي جَمِيعًا ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِرَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي يُكْثِرُ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتُرَاهُ مُرَائِيًا " فَقُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ , فَأَرْسَلَ يَدِي ، ثُمَّ طَبَّقَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ فَجَمَعَهُمَا ، وَجَعَلَ يَرْفَعُهُمَا بِحِيَالِ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَيَضَعُهُمَا ، وَيَقُولُ : " عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ يَغْلِبْهُ " , وقَالَ يَزِيدُ بِبَغْدَادَ : بُرَيْدَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ ، وَقَدْ كَانَ قَالَ : عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بُرَيْدَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ , قَالَا : بُرَيْدَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I went out walking and saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had turned his face to one side. I thought perhaps he was going to relieve himself, so I turned aside to go away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me and gestured towards me. When I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he took my hand and we both started walking together. Suddenly, we came near a man who was praying and performing many bowings and prostrations. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you think he is a show-off?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) let go of my hand, brought both his palms together, raised them to the level of his shoulders and lowered them, and said three times, "Adopt the middle path for yourselves, because whoever is harsh in matters of religion becomes overwhelmed." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
