Say Allahu Akbar, Alhamdulillah, and Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi. For one, ten will be given, and for ten, a hundred good deeds will be granted.

Once, Ubaid bin Umair, may Allah be pleased with him, was speaking and Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, was also present there. Ubaid bin Umair said that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "The example of a hypocrite is like that of a goat between two flocks; when it goes to one flock, the goats there drive it away with their horns, and when it goes to the other flock, the goats there also drive it away with their horns." Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "This hadith is not like this." Ubaid bin Umair was displeased at this. Abdullah bin Safwan was also present in that gathering.

In the sight of the Lord, they will be filthy people; they will be gathered in the Fire along with monkeys and pigs.

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.

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.
