[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards Hunayn and passed by a sidrah tree. So I said, "O Prophet of Allah, make for us such a tree with idols, just as the disbelievers have trees with idols. The disbelievers used to hang their weapons on the tree and gather around it." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allahu Akbar! This is similar to what the Children of Israel said to Musa, 'Make for us a god as they have gods' (Quran 7:138). Indeed, you are following the ways of those before you."  

خَرَجَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ حُنَيْنٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِسِدْرَةٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لِلْكُفَّارِ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ وَكَانَ الْكُفَّارُ يَنُوطُونَ سِلَاحَهُمْ بِسِدْرَةٍ وَيَعْكُفُونَ حَوْلَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةً} [الأعراف 138] إِنَّكُمْ تَرْكَبُونَ سُنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ  

[Machine] "He informed me that he heard Abu Waqid Al-Laythi saying, and he was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that when the Messenger of Allah conquered Makkah, he took us with him towards Hawazin until we passed by the Sidrat al-Muntaha. This is a tree where the disbelievers used to gather and worship. We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, make for us a tree like they have a tree.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Allahu Akbar! Indeed, this is one of the traditions, just as the Children of Israel said to Musa, 'Make for us a god as they have gods.' Musa said, 'Verily, you are an ignorant people.' Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Indeed, you will follow the traditions of those before you.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ يَقُولُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا افْتَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَكَّةَ خَرَجَ بِنَا مَعَهُ قِبَلَ هَوَازِنَ حَتَّى مَرَرْنَا عَلَى سِدْرَةِ الْكُفَّارِ سِدْرَةٌ يَعْكِفُونَ حَوْلَهَا وَيَدْعُونَهَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لَهُمْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ إِنَّهَا السُّنَنُ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ} ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ » إِنَّكُمْ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ «  

[Machine] We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards Hunayn, and we passed by the Sadrat and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, make for us a Sadrat like the polytheists have, as they used to hang their weapons on it and gather around it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allahu Akbar! This is similar to what the Children of Israel said to Moses, 'Make for us a god as they have gods.' Verily, you will surely follow the ways of those who came before you."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ حُنَيْنٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِالسِّدْرَةِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لِلْكُفَّارِ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ وَكَانَ الْكُفَّارُ يَنُوطُونَ سِلَاحَهُمْ بِسِدْرَةٍ وَيَعْكُفُونَ حَوْلَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ} إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرْكَبُونَ سَنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Sinan bin Abi Sinan al-Du'ali, from Abu Waqid al-Laithi who said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Hunayn while we were new to Islam and the polytheists had a tree in which they would sit and hang their weapons on, called Dhat Anwat. So, we passed by the tree and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, make for us a Dhat Anwat like they have.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah is the Greatest! You have said just as the Children of Israel said to Musa (as), "Make for us a god as they have gods." He (Musa) said, "Verily, you are a people who know not." You are surely going to follow the ways of those who came before you.'"  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ وَنَحْنُ حُدَثَاءُ عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ ولِلْمُشْرِكِينَ سِدْرَةٌ يَعْكُفُونَ عِنْدَهَا ويَنُوطُونَ بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ قَالَ فَمَرَرْنَا بِالسِّدْرَةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لَهُمْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ إِنَّهَا السُّنَنُ قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ} لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were newly converted from the era of ignorance and the tree of the Quraysh polytheists and other Arabs, called Dhāt Anwāṭ, was a great tree. They would come to it every year, hang their weapons on it, rest under it, and engage in acts of worship on that day. We saw, while walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a great green Sidra tree, and it called out to us from the sides of the road. So we said, "O Messenger of Allah, make a Dhāt Anwāṭ for us." He said, "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest). You said just as the people of Moses said, 'Make for us a god as they have gods'." (The verse is) to test whether you will follow the traditions of those who came before you.  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ لِكُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ وَمَنْ سِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ شَجَرَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ يَأْتُونَهَا كُلَّ عَامٍ فَيُعَلِّقُونَ بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ويُرِيحُونَ تَحْتَهَا وَيَعْكُفُونَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمًا فَرَأَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سِدْرَةً خَضْرَاءَ عَظِيمَةً فَتَنَادَيْنَا مِنْ جَنَبَاتِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ} الْآيَةَ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] We went out with the Prophet ﷺ while we were still new in embracing Islam, and the pagans had embraced Islam on the day of the conquest. We arrived at a tree where the pagans used to hang their weapons and sit around it. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, make for us a tree like the pagans have," so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest). You have said as the people of Musa (Moses) said, 'Make for us a god as they have gods.' But you will indeed follow the ways of those before you."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ وَكَانُوا أَسْلَمُوا يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يَعْكُفُونَ عِنْدَهَا فِي السَّنَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقُلْنَا اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قُلْتُمْ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ} ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرْكَبُونَ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ»  

"عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ إلى حُنَيْنٍ وَنَحْنُ حُدَثَاءُ عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرٍ وللمشركين سدرة يَعْكُفُونَ عِنْدَهَا وينوطون بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا: ذَات أَنْوَاطٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِالسدْرَةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَات أَنْوَاطٍ كمَا لَهُمْ ذَات أَنْوَاطٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُلْتُمْ وَالذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إسْرَائِيل اجْعَلْ لَنَا إلهًا كَمَا لَهُم آلِهَة، لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبَلَكُمْ".
