حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَنْبَرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ومُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ شَاهِينَ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَزَّةَ الدَّبَّاغُ حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ بِدِمَشْقَ فَجَاءُوا بِرُءُوسٍ فَوَضَعُوهَا عَلَى دَرَجِ مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَبْكِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي أُنَاسٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يَتَجَاوَزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَنْتَثِرُونَهُ كَمَا يَنْتَثِرُ الدَّقَلُ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ السَّهْمُ عَلَى فَوْقِهِ شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ وَقَتَلُوهُ»

✧ I was in Damascus when they brought heads and placed them on the steps of the Damascus mosque. I saw Abu Umamah crying, so I asked him, "What makes you cry, O Abu Umamah?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'There will be people in my Ummah who recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will abandon the religion as an arrow passes through a target. They will not return to it until the arrow returns to its notch.' A calamity awaits those who kill them, and they will kill him."
