[6781] 6 - (2669) It was narrated that Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘You will certainly follow the ways (and halaits) of those who came before you, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit, until even if they entered a lizard's hole, you would follow them.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, the Jews and the Christians?’ He said: ‘Who else?’”
