حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيِّ ثُمَّ الْجُنْدَعِيِّ، (١) عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ: أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا عَنْ مَكَّةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى: {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةً قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ}، ، [الأعراف: ١٣٨] إِنَّهَا السُّنَنُ، (١) لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سُنَّةً سُنَّةً " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he set out with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) from Makkah Mukarramah towards Hunain. There was a berry tree of the disbelievers where they used to stop and hang their weapons, and it was called "Dhat Anwat." On the way, we passed by a great garden of lush and flourishing berry trees, so we said, "O Messenger of Allah! Appoint for us also a 'Dhat Anwat' just like they have." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you have said the same thing as the people of Musa (peace be upon him) said: 'Appoint for us a god just as they have gods.' And Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'You are a people who are ignorant.' Remember! You will surely follow the footsteps of those before you, and you will adopt their every habit."
