Hadith No.9
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :
"What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their prophets that destroyed those who were before you."
