Hadith No: 85
Narrated/Authority of Amr bin Shuaib
from his father that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out to his Companions when they were disputing about the Divine Decree, and it was as if pomegranate seeds had burst on his face (i.e., it turned red) because of anger. He said: 'Have you been commanded to do this, or were you created for this purpose? You are using one part of the Quran against another part, and this is what led to the doom of the nations before you.'" 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "I was never so happy to have missed a gathering with the Messenger of Allah (saw) as I was to have missed that gathering." (Hasan)
