Sahih al-Bukhari 6676 (Book 88, Hadith 15)
said, “Be just, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Woe to you ! Who would be just if I were not?”
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, “Allow me to cut off his neck ! ” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ” Leave him, for he
has companions, and if you compare your prayers with their prayers and your fasting with theirs, you
will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out of the
religion as an arrow darts through the game’s body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is
examined, nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be found on it; and
then its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been too fast to be smeared by
dung and blood. The sign by which these people will be recognized will be a man whose one hand (or
breast) will be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These people will appear
when there will be differences among the people (Muslims).” Abu Sa`id added: I testify that I heard
this from the Prophet (ﷺ) and also testify that `Ali killed those people while I was with him. The man with
the description given by the Prophet (ﷺ) was brought to `Ali. The following Verses were revealed in
connection with that very person (i.e., `Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira at-Tarnimi): ‘And among them
are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms.’ (9.58)
