حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتْرُکُونِي مَا تَرَکْتُکُمْ فَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُکُمْ فَخُذُوا عَنِّي فَإِنَّمَا هَلَکَ مَنْ کَانَ قَبْلَکُمْ بِکَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَی أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2679
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Leave me with what I left you. When I narrated a Hadith to you, then take it from me. The people before you were only destroyed by their excessive questioning and disagreeing with their Prophets.
