(حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يُسِيئُونَ الْأَعْمَالَ ، يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ " ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ : لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا قَالَ : " يَحْقِرُ أَحَدَكُمْ عَمَلَهُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ ، يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ، ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ، ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ، فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ ، وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلُوهُ ، كُلَّمَا طَلَعَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " ، فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ .
And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that there will arise in my Ummah a people who will be of bad character. They will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats. You will consider your deeds insignificant compared to their deeds. They will kill the people of Islam. When they appear, you must kill them, and as long as they continue to appear, you must keep killing them. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them, and glad tidings are for the one whom they kill. Whenever a generation of them emerges, Allah will destroy it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this twenty times or more, and I kept listening.
