It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, span by span, cubit by cubit and yard by yard, so much so that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you too would enter it following them." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Does this mean the Jews and the Christians?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then who else?" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it with this wording.
