Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالضَّحَّاكُ الْمِشْرَقِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُقْسِمُ قَسْمًا إِذَا جَاءَهُ ذُو الْخُوَيْصِرَةِ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اعْدِلْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدَلْ؟ » قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَصْحَابًا يَحْقِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَاتَهُ مَعَ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَصِيَامَهُ مَعَ صِيَامِهِمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُوقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ يُنْظَرُ إِلَى نَصْلِهِ فَلَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ يُنْظَرُ إِلَى رِصَافِهِ فَلَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ يُنْظَرُ إِلَى نَضِيِّهِ فَلَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ الْقِدْحُ ثُمَّ يُنْظَرُ إِلَى قُذَذِهِ فَلَا يُوجَدُ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ سَبَقَ الْفَرْثَ وَالدَّمَ آيَتُهُمْ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ إِحْدَى عَضُدَيْهِ مِثْلُ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَمَثَلُ الْبَضْعَةِ تَدَرْدَرُ يَخْرُجُونَ عَلَى حِينَ فُرْقَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَأَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَاتَلَهُمْ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ فَالْتُمِسَ فَوُجِدَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ عَلَى نَعْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي نَعَتَ
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Qutaybah informed us, Harmalah ibn Yahya narrated to us, Ibn Wahb narrated to us, Yunus informed me from Ibn Shihab who said: Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman and al-Dahhak al-Mishrqi informed me that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: While we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was distributing something, Dhul-Khuwaysirah came to him - a man from Banu Tamim - and said: O Messenger of Allah, be just. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Woe to you! Who will be just if I am not just?" Umar ibn al-Khattab said: O Messenger of Allah, give me permission regarding him that I may strike his neck. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Leave him, for he has companions. One of you will consider his prayer insignificant compared to their prayer and his fasting compared to their fasting. They recite the Quran but it does not pass beyond their throats. They will pass through Islam as an arrow passes through game. One looks at its iron head and finds nothing in it, then looks at its binding and finds nothing in it, then looks at its shaft - which is the arrow-body - and finds nothing in it, then looks at its feathers and finds nothing in it. It passed beyond the excrement and blood. Their sign is a black man, one of whose upper arms is like a woman's breast or like a piece of flesh that jiggles. They will emerge at a time of division among the people." Abu Sa'id said: I testify that I heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and I testify that Ali ibn Abi Talib fought them while I was with him. He commanded about that man, and he was searched for and found and brought, until I looked at him according to the description of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that he described."
