حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي اخْتِلَافٌ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ يُحْسِنُونَ الْقَوْلَ وَيُسِيئُونَ الْعَمَلَ ، يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ ، يَحْقِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَاتَهُ مَعَ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَصَوْمَهُ مَعَ صِيَامِهِمْ ، هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ ، فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ وَقَتَلُوهُ ، يَدْعُونَ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَيْسُوا مِنْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، مَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ كَانَ أَوْلَى بِاللهِ مِنْهُمْ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا سِيمَاهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : التَّحْلِيقُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will be disagreement and division in my Ummah. They will be people who speak very fine and impressive words, but their deeds will be the worst. They will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. You will consider your prayers insignificant compared with their prayers, and your fasts compared with their fasts. They are the worst of all creation and created beings. So glad tidings (tuba) to the one who kills them and the one whom they kill. They will call people to the Book of Allah, yet they will have no connection whatsoever with the Book of Allah. Whoever kills them will be better and closer to Allah Almighty than they (the Khawarij) are." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is their particular sign?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their sign is shaving the head."
