English narration
Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It was said to the children of Israel, 'Enter the gate (of the town), prostrate (in humility) and say Hittatun (i.e. repentance) i.e. O Allah! Forgive our sins.' But they entered by dragging themselves on their buttocks, so they did something different (from what they had been ordered to do) and said, 'Hittatun,' but added, "A grain in a hair."

قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ سورة البقرة آية 58 ، فَدَخَلُوا يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ فَبَدَّلُوا ، وَقَالُوا حِطَّةٌ حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعَرَةٍ
