حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ جَمْعٍ هَلُمَّ الْقُطْ لِي فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ حَصَيَاتٍ مِنْ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ بِأَمْثَالِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالْغُلُوِّ فِي الدِّينِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1851
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me on the morning of Muzdalifah: "Pick up (pebbles) for me." I picked up for him small pebbles (the size of broad beans). When I put them in his hand, he said: "Yes, like these. And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters."
