‘A’isha reported that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, “There are six whom I have cursed, whom I pray that Allah may curse, and every prophet’s prayer is answered
He who makes additions to Allah’s Book, he who declares Allah’s decree to be false, he who rules proudly to exalt him whom Allah has humbled and humble him whom Allah has exalted, he who profanes Allah’s sacred area, he who considers he may do to my family what Allah has declared forbidden, and he who abandons my sunna.” Baihaqi transmitted it in the introduction and Razin in his book.وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " سِتَّةٌ لَعَنْتُهُمْ وَلَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَكُلُّ نَبِيٍّ يُجَابُ: الزَّائِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُكَذِّبُ بِقَدَرِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِالْجَبَرُوتِ لِيُعِزَّ مَنْ أَذَلَّهُ اللَّهُ وَيُذِلَّ مَنْ أَعَزَّهُ اللَّهُ وَالْمُسْتَحِلُّ لِحَرَمِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَحِلُّ مِنْ عِتْرَتِي مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَالتَّارِكُ لِسُنَّتِي ". رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي الْمدْخل ورزين فِي كِتَابه

Mishkat al-Masabih 1090
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri told that when Allah's Messenger ﷺ saw a tendency among his companions to go to the back he said to them, “Come forward and follow my lead, and let those who come after you follow your lead. People will continue to keep to the back till Allah will put them at the back.”* * This has been explained as referring to their being denied Allah’s grace, or their lacking rank or knowledge. But cf. the tradition from 'A’isha at the end of Section III. Muslim transmitted it.
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ تَأَخُّرًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَقَدَّمُوا وَأْتَمُّوا بِي وَلْيَأْتَمَّ بِكُمْ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ لَا يَزَالُ قَوْمٌ يَتَأَخَّرُونَ حَتَّى يؤخرهم الله» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
