وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ { ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ } فَبَدَّلُوا فَدَخَلُوا الْبَابَ يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعْرَةٍ
English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It was said to the Children of Israel: Enter the gate prostrating and say Hittah (forgiveness), and We will forgive your sins. But they altered it and entered the gate dragging themselves on their buttocks and said: A grain in a hair, instead of what they were told.'
