عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ: «الْقُطْ لِي حَصًى» فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ سَبْعَ حَصَيَاتٍ، هُنَّ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُهُنَّ فِي كَفِّهِ وَيَقُولُ: «أَمْثَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَارْمُوا» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ، فَإِنَّما أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ الْغُلُوُّ فِي الدِّينِ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Bin Abbas -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yao- amesema: Alisema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake asubuhi ya tukio la Akaba huku akiwa juu ya Ngamia wake: "Niokotee kijiwe" Nikamuokotea vijiwe saba, navyo ni vijiwe vya kurusha wakati wa kuwinda, akawa akivipuliza katika kiganja chake huku akisema: "Mfano wa vijiwe hivi basi rusheni" Kisha akasema: "Enyi watu, tahadharini sana na kuchupa mipaka katika dini, kwani kilichowaangamiza waliokuwa kabla yenu ni kuchupa mpaka katika dini".
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: On the morning of ‘Aqabah, when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was atop his she-camel, he said: "Pick up some pebbles for me." So I picked up seven pebbles for him, which were the size of pebbles used for flinging with fingers. He started shaking them in his hand and saying: "Throw the like of these." Then, he said: "O people, beware of immoderation in religion, for those before you were doomed because of immoderation in religion."
Katazo la kuchupa mipaka katika dini, na kumeelezwa ubaya wa mwisho wake, nakuwa hilo ni sababu ya kuangamia.
Kuchukua mazingatio kwa Umma zilizopita ili kuyaepuka makosa waliyotumbukia ndani yake.
Himizo la kuiga kutoka katika Sunna.
