وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ وَالزَّهْوَ فَإِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ غَلَا كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَصِيرَةُ تَتَّخِذُ خُفَّيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ تَحْشُوهُمَا ثُمَّ تُولِجُ فِيهِمَا رِجْلَيْهَا ثُمَّ تَعَمَدُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الطَّوِيلَةِ فَتَمْشِي مَعَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ سَاوَتْ بِهَا أَوْ كَانَتْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا»

- Samurah b. Jundub
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Beware of extremism and haughtiness, for many of the Children of Israel went to extremes, to the point that a short woman would make two wooden clogs, stuff them, then put her feet into them. Then she would go with a tall woman, and when they walked together, she would be equal to her or even taller.”
