Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You will surely follow the ways of those who came before you, inch by inch and cubit by cubit, so much so that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you would follow them into it as well. We asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" He said, "Who else?"
