The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Ali! You and your companions will be in Paradise; however, among those who claim that they love you there will be people who will cast Islam aside and throw it away. They will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will have a particular name: they will be called 'al-Rafidah'. If you find their time, wage jihad against them, for they will be polytheists." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! What will be the particular sign among them?"
