Arabic (Original)
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ هَذَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ذَرُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَأْتُوهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ.
English Translation
And with this same chain, he said: I heard Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Leave me as long as I leave you, for those before you were destroyed only because of their [excessive] questioning and their disputing with their prophets. So when I command you with something, do it as much as you are able, and when I forbid you from something, avoid it.'
