Harmalah ibn Yahya al-Tujibi narrated to me, Ibn Wahb informed us, Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab informed me, they said: Abu Hurayrah used to narrate that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whatever I have forbidden you, avoid it, and whatever I have commanded you, do of it as much as you are able. For indeed, what destroyed those before you was their excessive questioning and their disagreement with their prophets."
