Hadith 12368

عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ قَوْمًا يَكُونُونَ فِي أُمَّتِهِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي فِرْقَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ سِيمَاهُمُ التَّحْلِيقُ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ أَوْ مِنْ شَرِّ الْخَلْقِ يَقْتُلُهُمْ أَدْنَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا أَوْ قَالَ قَوْلًا الرَّجُلُ يَرْمِي الرَّمِيَّةَ أَوْ قَالَ الْغَرَضَ فَيَنْظُرُ فِي النَّصْلِ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً وَيَنْظُرُ فِي النَّضِيِّ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً وَيَنْظُرُ فِي الْفُوقِ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَأَنْتُمْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned some people from his Ummah who will appear at the time of division and discord in the Ummah. Their sign will be that they will shave their heads. They are the worst of creation. The group that is closer to the truth will kill them. On this occasion, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) presented an example: a man shoots an arrow at game (the arrow passes through the blood and dung of the prey), but he sees nothing on the tip of the arrow. He sees no effect on its shaft. There is no mark on its feathers. (In the same way, reciting the Noble Qur'an will have no effect on them.)
