حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَزَوَّرِ ، عَنْ نُفَيْعٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، وأبى برزة قَالَا : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ ، فَرَأَى قَوْمًا قَدْ طَرَحُوا أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ ، يَمْشُونَ فِي قُمُصٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَبِفِعْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَأْخُذُونَ أَوْ بِصُنْعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَشَبَّهُونَ ، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ عَلَيْكُمْ دَعْوَةً تَرْجِعُونَ فِي غَيْرِ صُوَرِكُمْ " ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذُوا أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا لِذَلِكَ .
´It was narrated that ‘Imran bin Husain and Abu Barzah said:` “We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to attend a funeral, and he saw some people who had cast aside their upper sheets and were walking in their shirts only. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Are you adopting the practice of the days of ignorance?’ or; ‘Are you imitating the behavior of the days of ignorance? I was about to supplicate against you that you would return in a different form.’ So they put their sheets back on and never did that again.”

Benefit:

Therefore, whether it is an occasion of happiness or sorrow, it is obligatory to abstain from the customs and traditions of Jews, Christians, and Hindus.
