أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ نَفْسِي فَإِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَخْرُجُ قَوْمٌ أَحْدَاثُ الْأَسْنَانِ سُفَهَاءُ الْأَحْلَامِ يَقُولُونَ مِنْ خَيْرِ قَوْلِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ لَا يُجَاوِزُ إِيمَانُهُمْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ فَاقْتُلْهُمْ فَإِنْ فِي قَتْلِهِمْ أَجْرًا لِمَنْ قَتْلَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

✧ From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—for falling from the sky is dearer to me than lying about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “A people will emerge, young in age, foolish in minds, who say the best words of creation. Their faith does not go beyond their throats. They pass out of the religion as an arrow passes out of the game. If you come upon them, kill them, for in killing them there is reward on the Day of Resurrection for the one who kills them.”
