Continuation of the Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6292 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You will surely
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: «لَتَأْخُذُنَّ كَمَا أَخَذَتِ الْأُمَمُ قَبْلَكُمْ ذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ، وَشِبْرًا بِشِبْرٍ، وَبَاعًا بِبَاعٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَ أُولَئِكَ دَخَلَ جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ لَدَخَلْتُمُوهُ»، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمُ الْقُرْآنَ: {كَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً} [التوبة: 69] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمَا فَعَلَتْ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ؟ قَالَ: «فَمَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا هُمْ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will surely follow the path that the nations before you followed, arm's length for arm's length, span for span, and fathom for fathom, so much so that if one of them had entered the hole of a lizard, you too would surely enter it." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you wish, recite this verse of the Qur'an: 'Like those before you, who were mightier than you in strength' [al-Tawbah: 69], to the end of the verse." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), (do you mean the earlier nations) as the people of Persia and Rome did?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then who are the people, if not them?"
