Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last times there will be people who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass out of Islam just as an arrow passes through the target. Fighting them will be an obligation upon every Muslim." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the Sahih, but without these words: "Fighting them will be an obligation upon every Muslim."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
