Sahih al-Bukhari 5930 (Book 78, Hadith 189)
Bani Tamim, said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Act justly.” The Prophets said, “Woe to you! Who else would
act justly if I did not act justly?” `Umar said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), “Allow me to chop his neck off.” The
Prophet said, “No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his
fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the
victim’s body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its
Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen
thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such
people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which they
will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or
a lump of flesh moving loosely.” Abu Sa`id added, “I testify that I heard that from the Prophet (ﷺ) and
also testify that I was with `Ali when `Ali fought against those people. The man described by the
Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet (ﷺ) had
described him.” (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
