حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار، عن عاصم بن شميخ، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا حلف واجتهد في اليمين قال: " لا والذي نفس أبي القاسم بيده، ليخرجن قوم من أمتي تحقرون أعمالكم مع أعمالهم، يقرءون القرآن، لا يجاوز تراقيهم، يمرقون من الإسلام كما يمرق السهم من الرمية " قالوا: فهل من علامة يعرفون بها، قال: فيهم رجل ذو يدية - أو ثدية - محلقي رءوسهم "، قال أبو سعيد: " فحدثني عشرون - أو بضع وعشرون - من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أن عليا رضي الله عنه ولي قتلهم "، قال: فرأيت أبا سعيد بعدما كبر، ويديه ترتعش يقول: قتالهم أحل عندي من قتال عدتهم من الترك

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #11285 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the Muslims would fight a people with small eyes, red faces, flat noses and faces like hammered shields, who wear shoes of hair.

[Described Characteristics]: The narrations in Bukhari and Muslim give only this description and say the fighting is among the signs before the Hour.

[Timeline & Context]: Scholars place it among the events foretold for the early centuries.

[Prophetic Practice]: Baghdad fell after years of internal division. Unity is a protection.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold a group who would recite the Quran but it would not go past their throats, and who would leave the religion as an arrow leaves its target. They appeared as the Khawarij.

[Described Characteristics]: Their prayer and fasting would make the Companions' look small, yet they would kill the people of Islam and leave the idol-worshippers alone. Among them would be a man with a deformed arm like a woman's breast.

[Timeline & Context]: They broke away from Ali (RA) after Siffin in 37 AH. Ali fought them at Nahrawan in 38 AH, and the man with the deformed arm was found among the dead, as described.

[Prophetic Practice]: Worship without understanding and mercy can go badly wrong. Be slow to judge other Muslims.
