You will follow the example of those who preceded you, hand-span for hand-span

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful


It was reported by Abu Said al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allaah sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam said:

“You will follow the example of those who preceded you, hand-span for hand-span, and arm-length for arm-length. Even if they entered into a lizard's hole, you would surely enter it!” He was asked, “Do you mean the Jews and Christians?” He replied, “Who else are the (previous) people?”

[Recorded by al-Bukhari, Muslim and others]





The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:

"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:
Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
[Ahmad]
