Musnad Ahmad 9819 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ , أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : " لَتَتَّبِعُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بَاعًا بِبَاعٍ ، وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ ، وَشِبْرًا بِشِبْرٍ ، حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا فِي جُحْرِ ضَبٍّ لَدَخَلْتُمْ مَعَهُمْ " . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الْيَهُودُ , وَالنَّصَارَى ؟ ، قَالَ : " فَمَنْ إِذًا " .
It is narrated with the same chain that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You will surely follow the ways of the previous nations, span by span and cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you would also do the same." The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, asked: "O Messenger of Allah, do you mean the Jews and Christians by this?" He said: "Then who else?"
