حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الرِّيَاشِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ قُرَيْبٍ الأَصْمَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "الْخَوَارِجُ كِلابُ النَّارِ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ قُرَيْبٍ أَبِي الأَصْمَعِيِّ ، إِلا ابْنُهُ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Commentary:
(1)
In this, there is a severe condemnation of the Khawarij, and a clear statement regarding their being disbelievers (kuffar) and destined for Hellfire.

(2)
From this, it is understood that their beliefs are those of disbelief (kufr), due to which they were declared to have left Islam and adopted disbelief.

(3)
The Muslims who fought against the Khawarij attained a high status and virtue.

(4)
From this, the virtue of Ali (radi Allahu anhu) is established, because he fought against the Khawarij and was martyred at the hands of a Khariji.

Benefit:
In this hadith, the condemnation of the Khawarij is mentioned—those who declare everyone to be disbelievers (kafir), consider rebellion against them permissible, and unjustly kill Muslims. Such people are destined for Hell. We too, in Pakistan, are confronted with some similar takfiri and khariji individuals, who are bent on terrorism in a covert manner and have killed thousands of Muslims in Pakistan through suicide attacks. May Allah grant guidance to these people, ameen. Furthermore, this hadith is evidence that the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) were truthful individuals, and were far removed from falsehood.
