Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4369 — from the Prophet ﷺ concerning the Khawarij
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَوَارِجِ قَالَ : مَثَلُهُمْ مَثَلُ رَجُلٍ رَمَى بِرَمْيَةٍ ، فَبَرِحَ السَّهْمُ حَيْثُ وَقَعَ ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى فُوقِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهِ دَسَمًا وَلَا دَمًا ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى رَأْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهِ دَسَمًا وَلَا دَمًا ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَتَعَلَّقْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الدَّسَمِ وَلَا الدَّمِ ، كَذَلِكَ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّقْ هَؤُلَاءِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the Khawarij that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their example is that of a man who shot an arrow (at game), then picked it up from where it had fallen and looked at its notch (the rear end of the arrow), and saw no trace of fat or blood on it; then he looked at its head and again saw no trace of fat or blood. So just as nothing of fat or blood clung to that arrow, likewise nothing of Islam has clung to these people."
