عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا عَنْ مَكَّةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ: وَكَانَ لِلْكُفَّارِ سِدْرَةٌ يَعْكِفُونَ عِنْدَهَا وَيُعَلِّقُونَ بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ، قَالَ: فَمَرَرْنَا بِسِدْرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ عَظِيمَةٍ قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَقُلْتُ) يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: كَمَا لِلْكُفَّارِ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ) فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى: {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ، قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ} إِنَّهَا لَسُنَنٌ، لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سُنَّةً سُنَّةً))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from Makkah Mukarramah towards Hunayn. The disbelievers had a lote tree; they used to stay near it and hang their weapons on it (and would sit around it as devotees). This lote tree was called Dhat Anwat. When we passed by a large green lote tree, we said: "O Messenger of Allah! Make for us a Dhat Anwat as they have a Dhat Anwat." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul! You have said just as the people of Musa (peace be upon him) said," as Allah the Exalted has said: «اِجْعَلْ لَنَآ اِلٰہًا کَمَا لَہُمْ اٰلِہَۃٌ» (O Musa! Make for us a god just as they have gods.) He said: Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly. (Al-A'raf: 138) These are different ways, but surely you will follow the ways of those before you, step by step, one by one.
