Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet ﷺ said: He who copies any people is one of them.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was emphasizing the importance of being an individual with his own unique identity, rather than blindly copying the actions of those around him. He wanted people to think for themselves and make their own decisions based on what they believe is right or wrong, instead of just following the crowd without any thought or consideration for their beliefs or values. By doing this, people can develop into strong individuals who are capable of making wise decisions in life without relying on anyone else’s opinion or guidance.
