It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:
“On the morning of ‘Aqabah,
when
he was atop his she-camel, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘Pick
up some pebbles for me.’ So I picked up seven pebbles for him,
suitable for Khadhf.* He began to toss them in his hand, saying:
‘Throw something like these.’ Then he said: ‘O people, beware
of
exaggeration in religious matters for those who came before you
were
doomed because of exaggeration in religious matters.’”
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ غَدَاةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ " الْقُطْ لِي حَصًى " . فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ سَبْعَ حَصَيَاتٍ هُنَّ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُهُنَّ فِي كَفِّهِ وَيَقُولُ " أَمْثَالَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَارْمُوا " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ الْغُلُوُّ فِي الدِّينِ " .
