Assalamualaikum.

Does anybody know the source for this hadith ;

The Prophet's (pbuh) sayings warn us:

This religion is powerful; enter into it gradually. Indeed the over-strict are lost, the over-strict are lost.

Thank you. Wassalamualaikum.

sorry no idea.

but i wanted to clarify one thing. it does not mean to apply Islamic principles slowly slowly. eg. i'll only pray this year and then next year i'll fast and third year i'll leave drinking. we have to apply Islam altogether.
