3403. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "It was said to Bani Isrāēl, 'Enter the gate (of the town) bowing with humility (prostrating yourselves) and saying: Repentance.' But they changed the word and entered the town crawling on their buttocks and saying: 'A grain in Sha'ra (a spike or a hair).'"(2) (See H. 4479)
3403 - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: {ادْخُلُوا البَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ} [البقرة: 58] فَبَدَّلُوا، فَدَخَلُوا يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ، وَقَالُوا: حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعْرَةٍ "
