عن أبي سعيدٍ الخُدريِّ رضي الله عنه، أن النبيَّ ﷺ قال:«لتَتَّبِعُنَّ سَنَنَ مَن قَبْلَكم، شِبرًا بشِبرٍ، وذراعًا بذراعٍ، حتى لو سَلَكوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ لَسَلكْتموه»، قلنا: يا رسول الله، اليهود والنصارى؟ قال: «فمَن؟!»

Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudrī narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
1. You shall follow the ways of those who were before you, 2. inch by inch, cubit by cubit. 3. Even if they go into a lizard’s hole, you will follow their suit. 4. We said: “Messenger of God, the Jews and Christians?’ He said: ‘Who else?”
