đź“–Sahih Muslim 2670
Abdullah reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Ruined, were those who indulged in hair-splitting. He (the Holy Prophet) repeated this thrice.
- This hadith from Sahih Muslim 2670 reports that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Ruined, were those who indulged in hair-splitting,” and he repeated this statement three times. The term “hair-splitting” refers to the act of excessively scrutinizing or arguing over minor or trivial details. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against this behavior, as it can lead to confusion, discord, and a loss of focus on more important matters. The repetition of the statement three times emphasizes the seriousness of this warning and highlights the importance of avoiding such behavior. Overall, the hadith encourages Muslims to prioritize unity, simplicity, and clarity in their beliefs and actions.
