أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ
أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ نَاسًا فِي أُمَّتِهِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي فِرْقَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ سِيمَاهُمُ التَّحْلِيقُ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ هُمْ مِنْ شَرِّ الْخَلْقِ أَوْ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ تَقْتُلُهُمْ أَدْنَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ إِلَى الْحَقِّ قَالَ وَقَالَ كَلِمَةً أُخْرَى قُلْتُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْتُمْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ»

✧ He mentioned people in his ummah who would emerge within a faction of people, their distinguishing mark being shaving [of heads]. They will pass out of the religion as an arrow passes out of the game. They are among the worst of creation—or they are the worst of creation. The nearer of the two parties to the truth will kill them.” He said: And he said another word; I said, “Between me and him, what is it?” He said: “And you killed them, O people of Iraq.”
