Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40730 — Reports on the Khawarij

Abu Salamah and Ata bin Yasar said: We came to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: "Have you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Haruriyyah?" He said: "I do not know the Haruriyyah, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'After you will come people in comparison with whose prayers you will consider your prayers insignificant, and in comparison with whose fasting and worship you will consider your fasting and worship of no account. They will recite the Qur'an, but the Qur'an will not go down past their throats. They will leave the religion as an arrow passes out of its target.'"
