(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَتَتَّبِعُنَّ سَنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ، شِبْرًا بِشِبْرٍ ، وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ ، حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ لَتَبِعْتُمُوهُمْ " ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى ؟ قَالَ : " فَمَنْ ؟ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You will surely follow the ways of those before you, handspan by handspan and arm's length by arm's length, so much so that if they entered a lizard's hole, you would follow them into it." We said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Who else?"
