Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the morning of Aqabah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was stationed on his mount. He said: Come forward and pick up pebbles for me. I picked up pebbles for him that were so small they could be held between the fingers. When I placed them in the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Yes! They should be like this, they should be like this. Beware of exaggeration in religion, for those before you were destroyed because of exaggeration in religion.
