[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will be differences and sects among my Ummah, and a group will emerge from them who recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats. They will have the appearance of a beard and a shaved head. So, when you see them, oppose them by shaving (removing) the short hair.'"  

أحمد:١٣٠٣٦حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي اخْتِلَافٌوَفُرْقَةٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ سِيمَاهُمُ الْحَلْقُ وَالتَّسْبِيتُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَنِيمُوهُمْ التَّسْبِيتُ يَعْنِي اسْتِئْصَالَ الشَّعْرِ الْقَصِيرِ
