Arabic Text
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا أُهْلِكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ وَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَأْتَمِرُوا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Leave me with what I have left you, for those who came before you were destroyed because of their excessive questioning and their disagreement with their Prophets. When I forbid you from something, avoid it; and when I command you to do something, do as much of it as you are able.'
