حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ب
ْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ

English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, who said: Hammad narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Leave me alone as long as I leave you alone. For those who came before you were destroyed only because of their excessive questioning and their disagreement with their prophets. When I command you with something, follow it as much as you are able. When I forbid you from something, avoid it.'
