1485. It was narrated that 'Imrân bin Husain and Abu Barzah said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to attend a funeral, and he saw some people who had cast aside their upper sheets and were walking in their shirts only. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Are you adopting the practice of the days of Ignorance?' or; 'Are you imitating the behavior of the days of Ignorance? I was about to
supplicate against you that you would return in a different form.' So they put their sheets back on and never did that again." (Maudu')

Commentary
The Muslims must avoid the customary traditions followed by the non-Muslims. The proofs of the forbiddance of imitating the disbelievers are mentioned in the Noble Qur'an and Hadith. So at the occasion of pleasure or grief, the customs and traditions followed by the Jews, Christian and Hindus must be avoided.
