بَابٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷺ لَتَتَّبِعُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْChapter on his ﷺ saying: "You will surely follow the ways of those before you"
Hadith 346
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلُهُ وَفِيهِ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ: وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ قَالَ: ((وَبَاعًا فَبَاعًا حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ لَدَخَلْتُمُوهُ)) قَالُوا: وَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ؟ قَالَ: ((فَمَنْ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated a similar hadith, except that after «وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ» these words are included: "And span by span, until if they were to enter a lizard’s hole, you would surely enter it as well." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Who are these people, are they the People of the Book?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Who else (could they be)?"
