حدثنا حسن بن موسى، أخبرنا أبو شهاب، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن أبي الزبير، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال: جئت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عام الجعرانة، وهو يقسم فضة في ثوب بلال للناس، فقال رجل: يا رسول الله اعدل، فقال: " ويلك، ومن يعدل إذا لم أعدل، لقد خبت إن لم أكن أعدل "، فقال عمر: يا رسول الله دعني أقتل هذا المنافق، فقال: " معاذ الله أن يتحدث الناس أني أقتل أصحابي، إن هذا وأصحابه يقرءون القرآن لا يجاوز حناجرهم - أو تراقيهم - يمرقون من الدين مروق السهم من الرمية "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #14804 in Musnad Ahmad.

[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.
