Hadith #47
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ لِحَاجَةٍ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالنَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ يَمْشِي
بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَمْشِي جَمِيعًا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا بِرَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي يُكْثِرُ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتُرَاهُ يُرَائِي فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَتَرَكَ يَدِي مِنْ يَدِهِ ثُمَّ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يُصَوِّبُهُمَا وَيَرْفَعُهُمَا وَيَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشَادَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ يَغْلِبْهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'One day I went out for a need, and there ahead of me was the Prophet ﷺ walking. He took my hand and we walked together. Ahead of us was a man praying with 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 joined his hands together and moved them up and down, saying: "Hold to the middle path! Hold to the middle path! Hold to the middle path! For whoever contends with this religion, it will overcome him."'
