   أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَتَى خَيْبَرَ مَرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ يُعَلِّقُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا: ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ، فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، هَذَا كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى لِمُوسَى: اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ، لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ

   ✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Khaybar, he passed by a tree on which the polytheists used to hang their weapons, called Dhat Anwat.

You will surely follow the ways of those who came before you."
