The Prophet ﷺ said, "You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole of a mastigure, you would follow them." We said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (Do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?" He said, "Whom else?"
