932 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو غَالِبٍ صَاحِبُ الْمِحْجَنِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ أَبْصَرَ رُءُوسَ خَوَارِجَ عَلَي دَرَجِ دِمَشْقٍ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» ، ثُمَّ بَكَي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «شَرُّ قَتْلَي تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ، وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَي مَنْ قَتَلُوا» قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ: أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنِّي إِذَنْ لَجُرِئٌ، سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ
Abu Ghalib narrates: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) observing the heads of the Khawarij on the steps of Mishq, and he said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "These are the dogs of Hell. These are the dogs of Hell. These are the dogs of Hell." Then Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and then said: "These are the worst people killed under the sky." And the best people will be those who fight against them. (I asked) Did you yourself hear this from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes (if I had not heard it and then narrated it from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him), then I would be showing great audacity. I have heard this from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not once, not twice, not three times (but more than that).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, the condemnation of the Khawarij is mentioned—those who declare everyone to be disbelievers (kafir), consider rebellion against them permissible, and unjustly kill Muslims. Such people are destined for Hell. We too, in Pakistan, are confronted with some similar takfiri and khariji individuals, who are bent on terrorism in a covert manner and have killed thousands of Muslims in Pakistan through suicide attacks. May Allah grant guidance to these people, ameen. Furthermore, this hadith is evidence that the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) were truthful individuals, and were far removed from falsehood.
