حدثنا يونس، وعفان قالا: حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، عن علي بن زيد، عن أبي الطفيل: أن رجلا ولد له غلام على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأتى به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " فأخذ ببشرة جبهته ودعا له بالبركة " قال: فنبتت شعرة في جبهته كهيئة القوس، وشب الغلام، فلما كان زمن الخوارج أحبهم، فسقطت الشعرة عن جبهته، فأخذه أبوه فقيده وحبسه، مخافة أن يلحق بهم، قال: فدخلنا عليه فوعظناه، وقلنا له فيما نقول: ألم تر أن بركة دعوة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد وقعت عن جبهتك؟ فما زلنا به حتى رجع عن رأيهم، فرد الله عليه الشعرة بعد في جبهته وتاب

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #23805 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.
