Hadith 8395

عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الْخَوْلَانِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ خَلَفٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا [سورة مريم: ٥٩] ثُمَّ خَلَفٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يَعْدُو تَرَاقِيَهُمْ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَمُنَافِقٌ وَفَاجِرٌ قَالَ بَشِيرُ فَقُلْتُ لِلْوَلِيدِ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةُ فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُ كَافِرٌ بِهِ وَالْفَاجِرُ يَتَأَكَّلُ بِهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After sixty years, such incompetent people will emerge who will neglect the prayers and follow their desires. Allah the Exalted says: {اَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاۃَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّہَوَاتِ فسَوْفَ یُلْقَوْنَ غَیًّا} … Then there succeeded them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil. Then after them will come incompetent ones, who will recite the Noble Qur'an, but it will not go below their collarbones. There are three types of people who recite the Noble Qur'an: the believer, the hypocrite, and the wicked. The narrator Basheer said: I asked Waleed: Who are these three people? He said: The hypocrite is actually a denier of the Noble Qur'an, the wicked one eats through it, and the believer brings faith upon it.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The arrow wounds the prey with such speed that even traces of blood are not visible on it, although it has already accomplished its task. In the same way, some people who recite the Noble Qur’an will claim to be Muslims, but they will become entangled in such tribulations that have no connection with Islam. According to most hadith scholars and commentators, such people are meant to be the Khawarij, whose mention will come in the following chapters. However, even now such people exist who are renowned for their recitation of the Noble Qur’an, yet in practice are far removed from the requirements of Islam, and in most of them, ostentation is also clearly observable.
