حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَی نَاقَتِهِ الْقُطْ لِي حَصًی فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ سَبْعَ حَصَيَاتٍ هُنَّ حَصَی الْخَذْفِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُهُنَّ فِي کَفِّهِ وَيَقُولُ أَمْثَالَ هَؤُلَائِ فَارْمُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِيَّاکُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَکَ مَنْ کَانَ قَبْلَکُمْ الْغُلُوُّ فِي الدِّينِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3029
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "On the morning of 'Aqabah, when he was atop his she-camel, the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H 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: '0 people, beware of exaggeration in religious matters for those who came before you were doomed because of exaggeration in religious matters.''' (Sahih)
