حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ:
إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا، فَلَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا مُحَارِبٌ، وَالْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يَخْرُجُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ أَحْدَاثُ الْأَسْنَانِ، سُفَهَاءُ الْأَحْلَامِ، يَقُولُونَ مِنْ خَيْرِ قَوْلِ الْبَرِيَّةِ لَا يُجَاوِزُ إِيمَانُهُمْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، فَأَيْنَمَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ، فَإِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

✧ When I narrate to you a hadith from the Messenger of God ﷺ, falling from the sky would be dearer to me than lying about him. When I narrate to you from other than him, I am but a warrior, and war is deception. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: At the end of time, a people will emerge, young in age, foolish in intellect, who say the best words of creation, but their faith does not pass beyond their throats. Wherever you find them, kill them, for killing them is a reward on the Day of Resurrection for the one who kills them.
