حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ثنا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ أَبِي سِنَانٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ ثُمَّ الْجُنْدَعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَقَدْ كَانَتْ لِكُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ وَمَنْ سِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ شَجَرَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ يَأْتُونَهَا كُلَّ عَامٍ فَيُعَلِّقُونَ بِهَا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ويُرِيحُونَ تَحْتَهَا وَيَعْكُفُونَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمًا فَرَأَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سِدْرَةً خَضْرَاءَ عَظِيمَةً فَتَنَادَيْنَا مِنْ جَنَبَاتِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى {اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ} الْآيَةَ لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were new converts from the pre-Islamic era. The disbelievers of Quraysh and other Arabs had a great tree called Dhat Anwat. They would come to it every year, hang their weapons on it, rest beneath it, and devote themselves to it for a day. While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we saw a great green lote tree. We called out from the sides of the road, 'O Messenger of Allah, make for us a Dhat Anwat.' He said, 'Allah is most great! You have said, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, as the people of Moses said: {Make for us a god as they have gods}—the verse—'You will surely follow the ways of those before you.'
