Hadith 1471

Ibn ’Umar (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) said, “He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them.” Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.

وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ ‏-رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ, فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ.‏ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
