Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40159 — Those who disliked going out during
٤٠١٥٩ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن محمد بن عمرو عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لتتبعن سنة من كان قبلكم باعا بباع، وذراعا بذراع وشبرا بشبر، حتى لو دخلوا في جحر ضب لدخلتم فيه"، قالوا: يا رسول اللَّه! اليهود والنصارى قال: "فمن إذن" (١).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will most certainly follow the way of those before you, two arm-spans by two arm-spans, one cubit by one cubit and one handspan by one handspan, so much so that if they entered a lizard's hole, you too would enter it." The noble Companions said: "Of the Jews and the Christians?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."
