حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن حميد بن هلال، عن عبد الله بن الصامت، عن أبي ذر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: "إن أناسا من أمتي سيماهم التحليق، يقرءون القرآن لا يجاوز حلوقهم، يمرقون من الدين كما يمرق السهم من الرمية، هم شر الخلق والخليقة "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #21531 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.
