Hadith # 1736
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Ruined are Al-Mutanatti'un." He repeated this thrice.
[Muslim]
Commentary
Mutanatti'un are those people who are in the habit of making unnecessary and unreasonably fine distinctions, exaggeration, artificial and eloquent speech in simple matters. We learn from this Hadith that in all matters one should adopt simplicity and avoid exaggeration no matter whether in speech or action.
