An-Nuʿman bin Abi ʿAiyash, on hearing me, said. "Did you hear this from Sahl?" I said, "Yes." He said, " I bear witness that I heard Abu Saʿid Al-Khudri saying the same, adding that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'I will say: They are of me (i.e. my followers). It will be said, 'You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you left'. I will say, 'Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who changed (their religion) after me."  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ لَسَمِعْتُهُ وَهْوَ يَزِيدُ فِيهَا فَأَقُولُ إِنَّهُمْ مِنِّي فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ فَأَقُولُ سُحْقًا سُحْقًا لِمَنْ غَيَّرَ بَعْدِي وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سُحْقًا بُعْدًا يُقَالُ سَحِيقٌ بَعِيدٌ وَأَسْحَقَهُ أَبْعَدَهُ
