Sahih Al-Bukhari - Hadiths of the Prophets - What was mentioned about the Children of Israel - Hadith No. (3197)

on the authority of Abu Saeed that the Prophet said = You will follow the ways of those before you, inch by inch and cubit by cubit, to the point that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you would enter it. We said, O Messenger of God, the Jews and the Christians ? He said, Then who else ?

First: It is a prophetic prophecy that tells of what will happen after him, and it was as he told, so the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was truthful. This is real evidence that “Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed” (An-Najm 3-4).

Second: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was addressing his nation, not the Companions in particular. Rather, history has proven that the entire world followed them, while the Companions followed none but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Third: Refer to our response to doubt No. 24.
