أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَتَمَنَّى أَنْ أَلْقَى رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْخَوَارِجِ ؟ ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ الْخَوَارِجَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنِي ، وَرَأَيْتُهُ بِعَيْنِي , أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَالٍ , فَقَسَمَهُ فَأَعْطَى مَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، وَمَنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ، وَلَمْ يُعْطِ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُ شَيْئًا , فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، مَا عَدَلْتَ فِي الْقِسْمَةِ ؟ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مَطْمُومُ الشَّعْرِ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ ، فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا ، وَقَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجِدُونَ بَعْدِي رَجُلًا هُوَ أَعْدَلُ مِنِّي " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَخْرُجُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ كَأَنَّ هَذَا مِنْهُمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ، سِيمَاهُمُ التَّحْلِيقُ , لَا يَزَالُونَ يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ آخِرُهُمْ مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ , فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ : شَرِيكُ بْنُ شِهَابٍ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ الْمَشْهُورِ .
´it was narrated that Sharik bin Shihab said:` "I used to wish that I could meet a man among the Companions of the Prophet [SAW] and ask him about the Khawarij. Then I met Abu Barzah on the day of 'Id, with a number of his companions. I said to him: 'Did you hear the Messenger of Allah [SAW] mention the Khawarij?' He said: 'Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] with my own ears, and saw him with my own eyes. Some wealth was brought to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he distributed it to those on his right and on his left, but he did not give anything to those who were behind him. Then a man stood behind him and said: "O Muhammad! You have not been just in your division!" He was a man with black patchy (shaved) hair, wearing two white garments. So Allah's Messenger [SAW] became very angry and said: "By Allah! You will not find a man after me who is more just than me." Then he said: "A people will come at the end of time; as if he is one of them, reciting the Qur'an without it passing beyond their throats. They will go through Islam just as the arrow goes through the target. Their distinction will be shaving. They will not cease to appear until the last of them comes with Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal. So when you meet them, then kill them, they are the worst of created beings."
Brief Explanation
1؎ : It is absolutely incorrect to deduce from this hadith that shaving the head is, Allah forbid, disliked (makruh), because something becoming a sign or distinguishing mark for a certain people does not contradict its being permissible. Thus, when the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw a child whose head had been partially shaved and partially left with hair, he said: "Shave the entire head or leave the entire head." This statement of his is sufficient to establish the permissibility of shaving the head.
2؎ : That is, they are not famous, but rather they are acceptable (maqbul). And "maqbul" refers to a narration for which corroboration (mutaba‘at) is found from another narrator; in that case, the narration will be considered acceptable, otherwise, it will be "len al-hadith" (weak in hadith). Here, most portions of this hadith have corroboration, therefore the hadith will be considered acceptable.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "You will not find" — No one can be more just than the Prophet, no matter how just a person may be.
(2) "Shaving the head" — Although shaving the head is permissible and is recommended (mustahabb) during Hajj, to make any permissible thing obligatory, to consider it a legal ruling (shar‘i mas’alah), or to unnecessarily declare it recommended (mustahabb) is absolutely impermissible. Those people will also adopt shaving the head as their distinguishing mark and will consider it obligatory. It can also be said that the Prophet mentioned it only as a sign. He did not censure it, because if someone adopts a permissible thing permanently but does not consider it a legal ruling or superior, then there is no harm. Often, a person adopts a permissible thing permanently for his own convenience, such as someone always wearing a shirt or closed shoes. Clearly, there is no objection in this. And if the act is superior and recommended (mustahabb), then to persist in it is, all the more, recommended, such as the two units (rak‘ahs) of Ishraq prayer, etc.
(3) "The last group" — It is as if the mentality of the Khawarij will remain until the Day of Judgment.
(4) "Masih Dajjal" — That is, the false and deceitful Messiah. Just as we now call any claimant of prophethood a "false prophet." Since he will claim to be the Messiah, and at that time the Jews will accept him as the "Messiah" and follow him. Even now, the Jews are awaiting the coming of the Messiah (although Masih ‘alayhis-salam has already come long ago). That is why he is called "Masih Dajjal." "Dajjal" is a descriptive term, not a name or title. Its meaning is: extremely deceitful, a liar, and a fraud. Thus, these words do not establish his being the Messiah, but rather establish his being a liar, just as calling someone a "false prophet" does not establish his prophethood.
(5) "The worst people" — Because they will kill Muslims. And the killer of Muslims is the worst of the inhabitants of Hell.
