[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be a group of people from my Ummah who will recite the Quran, but their recitation will not surpass their throats. They will leave the religion just as an arrow leaves its target, and they will not return to it. They will have the characteristic of moving swiftly." Abdullah bin As-Samit said, "I met Rafi bin Amr, the brother of Hakam bin Amr Al-Ghifari, and I asked him about a Hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr. I mentioned the Hadith to him and he said, 'What is strange about this? I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself. It is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim, and they did not exclude it.'"

Verily there would arise from my Ummah after me or soon after me a group (of people) who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey, and they would never come back to it. They would be the worst among the creation and the creatures. Ibn Samit (one of the narrators) said: I met Rafi' b. 'Amr Ghifari, the brother of Al-Hakam Ghifari and I said: What is this hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr, i. e. so and so? and then I narrated that hadith to him and said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
