English translation

4479. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “It was said to the Children of Isrāel, ‘Enter the gate (of the town), in prostration (or bowing with humility) and say: Hittatun (i.e., forgive us).’ But they entered by dragging themselves on their buttocks, so they did something different (from what they had been ordered) and said, ‘A grain in a Sha’ra (a spike or a hair) instead of Hittatun’(1).”

4479 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ المُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: {ادْخُلُوا البَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ} [البقرة: 58]. فَدَخَلُوا يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ، فَبَدَّلُوا، وَقَالُوا: حِطَّةٌ، حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعَرَةٍ "
