"O Messenger of Allah! Make a Dhat Anwat for us as they have a Dhat Anwat.' The Prophet ﷺ said: "Subhan Allah! This is like what Musa's people said: Make for us a god like their gods. By the One in Whose is my soul! You shall follow the way of those who were before you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مَرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ يُعَلِّقُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لَهُمْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى (اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ ) وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] From Makkah, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to Hunayn, he said, "The disbelievers had a Sidrah (a tree) that they would gather at and hang their weapons on. It is called Dhāt Anwātin (a tree with mantles). So, we passed by a great green Sidrah. We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, make for us a Dhāt Anwāt.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You have said as the people of Musa said, "Make for us a deity as they have deities." [Quran 7:138] Indeed, you are an ignorant people. Verily, these are the ways of those before you, you will follow the ways of those before you step by step."  

عَنْ مَكَّةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ لِلْكُفَّارِ سِدْرَةٌ يَعْكُفُونَ عِنْدَهَا وَيُعَلِّقُونَ بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ قَالَ فَمَرَرْنَا بِسِدْرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ عَظِيمَةٍ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةً قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ}[الأعراف 138] إِنَّهَا السُّنَنُ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سُنَّةً سُنَّةً  

[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  

"O Messenger of Allah! Make a Dhat Anwat for us as they have a Dhat Anwat.' The Prophet ﷺ said: "Subhan Allah! This is like what Musa's people said: Make for us a god like their gods. By the One in Whose is my soul! You shall follow the way of those who were before you." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2180)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ مَرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ يُعَلِّقُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لَهُمْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ} لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before the Battle of Hunayn, and we passed by a Sidrah tree. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, make for us a Sidrah like the one the disbelievers had, as they used to hang their weapons on it and gather around it.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Allahu Akbar! This is like what Banu Isra'il said, 'Make for us a god as they have gods.' (Surah Al-A'raf, 7:138) Indeed, you are following the traditions of those before you."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ حُنَيْنٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِسِدْرَةٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا 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 {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةً} [الأعراف 138] إِنَّكُمْ تَرْكَبُونَ سَنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ  

"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".
