حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ قَوْمًا يَكُونُونَ فِي أُمَّتِهِ، يَخْرُجُونَ فِي فِرْقَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، سِيمَاهُمْ التَّحْلِيقُ (١) ، هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ - أَوْ مِنْ شَرِّ الْخَلْقِ - يَقْتُلُهُمْ أَدْنَى (٢) الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ "، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا، أَوْ قَالَ قَوْلًا: " الرَّجُلُ يَرْمِي الرَّمِيَّةَ - أَوْ قَالَ: الْغَرَضَ - فَيَنْظُرُ فِي النَّصْلِ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً، وَيَنْظُرُ فِي النَّضِيِّ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً، وَيَنْظُرُ فِي الْفُوقِ فَلَا يَرَى بَصِيرَةً " قَالَ: قَالَ (٣) أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: وَأَنْتُمْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ (٤)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned a people who will be in your Ummah and will emerge among the people as a separate sect; their distinguishing mark will be shaving their heads. These people will be the worst of creation. One of the two groups—whichever is closer to the truth—will kill them. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) gave an example of them, saying: Just as a man shoots an arrow, then looks at its tip and finds nothing there, then looks at its blade and finds nothing there, then looks at its shaft and finds nothing there. Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people of Iraq! It is you who killed these people.
