[Machine] Uqbah ibn Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "Certainly, there will be men who will recite the Qur'an but it will not pass beyond their throats. They will come out of the religion just as an arrow passes through its game." Ibn Abi Hudhaifah heard it and said, "By Allah, if you are truthful and indeed you are a liar, then you are one of them." Abdullah, meaning Ibn Al-Mubarak, delivered this hadith stating that they would attribute this saying to them (meaning to the reciters of the Qur'an who do not act upon it).
عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ رِجَالٌ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ فَسَمِعَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا وَإِنَّكَ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكَذُوبٌ إِنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ حَمَلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَنَّهُمْ يَجْمَعُونَ مَعَهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةَ
