حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، وَمُبَشِّرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْحَلَبِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَ - يَعْنِي الْوَلِيدَ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : " سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي اخْتِلاَفٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ، قَوْمٌ يُحْسِنُونَ الْقِيلَ وَيُسِيئُونَ الْفِعْلَ وَيَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ عَلَى فُوقِهِ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ وَقَتَلُوهُ، يَدْعُونَ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَيْسُوا مِنْهُ فِي شَىْءٍ، مَنْ قَاتَلَهُمْ كَانَ أَوْلَى بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ " . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا سِيمَاهُمْ قَالَ : " التَّحْلِيقُ " .
Nasr ibn ‘Asim al-Antaki narrated to us: al-Walid and Mubashshir—meaning Ibn Isma‘il al-Halabi—narrated to us, from Abu ‘Amr. Al-Walid said: Abu ‘Amr narrated to us: Qatadah narrated to me, from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri and Anas ibn Malik, from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said: ‘There will be disagreement and division in my community. Some people will speak well but act badly; they will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go beyond their collarbones. They will leave the religion as an arrow passes through its prey, never returning until the arrow returns to its notch. They are the worst of creation. Glad tidings to whoever kills them or is killed by them. They call to the Book of Allah, yet have no part in it. Whoever fights them is more entitled to Allah’s favor than they are.’ They asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, what is their distinguishing mark?’ He replied, ‘Shaving the head.’
