Hadith #112
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ يَوْمًا أَمْشِي فَإِذَا بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَوَجِّهًا فَظَنَنْتُهُ يُرِيدُ حَاجَةً فَجَعَلْتُ أَخْنَسُ عَنْهُ وَأُعَارِضُهُ فَرَآنِي فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَمْشِي جَمِيعًا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِرَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي يُكْثِرُ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
أَتُرَاهُ مُرَائِيًا فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَأَرْسَلَ يَدِي ثُمَّ طَبَّقَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ فَجَمَعَهُمَا وَجَعَلَ يَرْفَعُهُمَا بِحِيَالِ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَيَضَعُهُمَا وَيَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ يَغْلِبْهُ و قَالَ يَزِيدُ بِبَغْدَادَ بُرَيْدَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَالَ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بُرَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا بُرَيْدَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ

English Translation
Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, ʿUyaynah informed us, from his father, from Abū Barzah al-Aslamī who said: I went out walking one day and there was the Prophet ﷺ heading somewhere. I thought he wanted something, so I kept stepping back and moving aside from him. He saw me and gestured to me, so I came to him. He took my hand and we walked together. Then we came upon a man praying, making many bowings and prostrations. the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Do you think he is showing off?’ I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He released my hand, then brought his palms together, pressing them, and began raising them to the level of his shoulders and lowering them, saying: ‘You must adopt a moderate course’ — three times — ‘for whoever contends with the religion, it will overpower him.’ Yazīd said in Baghdad: Buraydah al-Aslamī — though he had previously said: from Abū Barzah — then he reverted to Buraydah. Wakīʿ and Muḥammad ibn Bakr also said: Buraydah al-Aslamī.
