عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم يَقُولُ: «مَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ، وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ فَافْعَلُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَثْرَةُ مَسَائِلِهِمْ، وَاخْتِلَافُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira Abdul-Rahman bin Swakhar -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: Nilimsikia Mtume -rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akisema: "Yale niliyokukatazeni basi yaepukeni, na yale niliyokuamrisheni basi fanyeni katika hayo kadiri muwezavyo, na hakika waliangamia wale waliokuwa kabla yenu, kwa kukithiri maswali yao, na kuhitilafiana kwao na Manabii wao".
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Sakhr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Avoid what I have forbidden you from, and do as much as you can of what I have ordered you. Indeed, those before you were ruined because of their excessive questioning and disagreeing with their prophets."
