[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to say when he took an oath and exerted himself in this regard, "No, by the one in whose hand is the soul of Abu Al-Qasim, a group of people will emerge from my ummah who will belittle your deeds compared to theirs. They will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, like an arrow passes through its target. They will leave the fold of Islam as an arrow leaves the bow." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is there any sign by which they can be recognized?" He replied, "They will have a mark on their heads or foreheads, from the marks of prostration." Abu Sa'id said, "Then, I saw Abu Sa'id's hands trembling while he was saying, 'The fighting against them is more beloved to me than fighting against the Turks, who are their own people.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَلَفَ وَاجْتَهَدَ فِي الْيَمِينِ قَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ بِيَدِهِ لَيَخْرُجَنَّ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي تُحَقِّرُونَ أَعْمَالَكُمْ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ قَالُوا فَهَلْ مِنْ عَلَامَةٍ يُعْرَفُونَ بِهَا قَالَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ ذُو يُدَيَّةٍ أَوْ ثُدَيَّةٍ مُحَلِّقِي رُءُوسِهِمْ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي عِشْرُونَ أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَتْلَهُمْ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ بَعْدَمَا كَبِرَ وَيَديْهِ تَرْتَعِشُ يَقُولُ قِتَالُهُمْ أَحَلُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ قِتَالِ عِدَّتِهِمْ مِنَ التُّرْكِ
