Hadith of Buraydah al-Aslami (RA)

حديث بريدة الأسلمي

Hadith 1017:29

Isma'il narrated to us, 'Uyaynah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from his father, from Buraydah al-Aslami, who said: I went out one day for a need, and suddenly I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, walking before me. He took my hand, and we set off walking together. Suddenly, we were before a man praying, who was performing many bowings and prostrations. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Do you see him showing off?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He let go of my hand from his hand, then he brought his hands together and began to lower and raise them, saying: "Upon you is a moderate path. Upon you is a moderate path. Upon you is a moderate path; for whoever overburdens this religion, it will overcome him."

حدثنا إسماعيل، حدثنا عيينة بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبيه، عن بريدة الأسلمي قال: خرجت ذات يوم لحاجة، فإذا أنا بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يمشي بين يدي، فأخذ بيدي فانطلقنا نمشي جميعا، فإذا نحن بين أيدينا برجل يصلي يكثر الركوع والسجود، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أتراه يرائي؟ " فقلت: الله ورسوله أعلم. فترك يدي من يده، ثم جمع بين يديه فجعل يصوبهما ويرفعهما ويقول: " عليكم هديا قاصدا. عليكم هديا قاصدا. عليكم هديا قاصدا؛ فإنه من يشاد هذا الدين يغلبه "
