871 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَي حُنَيْنٍ مَرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ، يُعَلِّقُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لَهُمْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ﴿ اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ﴾ ، لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ "
Sayyiduna Abu Waqid al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Hunayn, he passed by a tree called "Dhat Anwat." The polytheists used to hang their weapons on it. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! Appoint for us a 'Dhat Anwat' just as they have a 'Dhat Anwat.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allahu Akbar! This is just like what the Children of Israel said: 'Make for us a god just as they have gods.'" (Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) "You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you."
