الفصل الثالث 5408 - عن ابي واقد الليثي - رضي الله عنه - ان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لما خرج إلى غزوة حنين مر بشجرة للمشركين كانوا يعلقون عليها اسلحتهم، يقال لها: ذات انواط، فقالوا: يا رسول الله! اجعل لنا ذات انواط كما لهم ذات انواط فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم:"سبحان الله هذا كما قال قوم موسى: اجعل لنا إلها كما لهم آلهة، والذي نفسي بيده لتركبن سنن من كان قبلكم". رواه الترمذي.
Abu Waqid al-Laithi told that when God's messenger went out to the battle of Hunain, he passed a tree called Dhat Anwat [*] belonging to the polytheists on which they hung their weapons. The people asked him to appoint a Dhat Anwat for them just as those people had one, to which God's messenger replied, "Glory be to God! This is like what the people of Moses said when they asked him to appoint them a god just as other peoples had gods. By Him in whose hand my soul is, you will certainly follow the practices of your predecessors." *The tree was an object of pagan worship. Its name means that it had things hung on it. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
