He (the Holy Prophet) gave to the chiefs of Najd and ignored us. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have done it with a view to conciliating between them. Then there came a person with thick beard, prominent cheeks, deep sunken eyes and protruding forehead and shaven head. He said: Muhammad, fear Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If I disobey Allah, who would then obey Him? Have I not been (sent as the) most trustworthy among the people of the world? But you do not repose trust in me." That person then went back. A person among the people then sought permission (from the Holy Prophet) for his murder. According to some, it was Khalid b. Walid who sought the permission. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: From this very person's posterity there would arise people who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throat; they would kill the followers of Islam and would spare the idol-worshippers. They would glance through the teachings of Islam so hurriedly just as the arrow passes through the pray. If I were to ever find them I would kill them like 'Ad.

bukhari:3344Ibn Kathīr > Sufyān from his father > Ibn Abū Nuʿm > Abū Saʿīd > Baʿath

ʿAli sent a piece of gold to the Prophet ﷺ who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin HʿAbis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid at-Ta'i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-ʿAmir who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the Prophet ﷺ ) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet ﷺ ' said "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet ﷺ to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)."

ʿAli bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin HʿAbis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news reached the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Be afraid of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I chop his neck off?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."

When ʿAli was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin HʿAbis Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqama bin 'Ulatha Al-ʿAmiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe and Zaid AI-Khail at-Ta'i who belonged to Bani Nabhan. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and leaves us!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I just wanted to attract and unite their hearts (make them firm in Islam)." Then there came a man with sunken eyes, bulging forehead, thick beard, fat raised cheeks, and clean-shaven head, and said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Allah). He trusts me over the people of the earth, but you do not trust me?" A man from the people (present then), who, I think, was Khalid bin Al- Walid, asked for permission to kill him, but the Prophet ﷺ prevented him. When the man went away, the Prophet said, "Out of the offspring of this man, there will be people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out through the game, and they will kill the Muslims and leave the idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would kill them as the Killing of the nation of 'Ad."

'Ali b. Abu Talib sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Yemen some gold alloyed with clay in a leather bag dyed in the leaves of Mimosa flava. He distributed it among four men. 'Uyaina b. Hisna, Aqra' b. Habis and Zaid al-Khail, and the fourth one was either Alqama b. 'Ulatha or 'Amir b. Tufail. A person from among his (Prophet's) Companions said: We had a better claim to this (wealth) than these (persons). This (remark) reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon which he said: Will you not trust me, whereas I am a trustee of Him Who is in the heaven? The news come to me from the heaven morning and evening. Then there stood up a person with deep sunken eyes, prominent cheek bones, and elevated forehead, thick beard, shaven head, tucked up loincloth, and he said: Messenger of Allah, fear Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe to thee. Do I not deserve most to fear Allah amongst the people of the earth? That man then returned. Khalid b. Walid then said: Messenger of Allah, should I not strike his neck? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he may be observing the prayer. Khalid said: How many observers of prayer are there who profess with their tongue what is not in their heart? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have not been commanded to pierce through the hearts of people, nor to split their bellies (insides). He again looked at him and he was going back. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: There would arise a people from the progeny of this (man) who would recite the Qur'an glibly, but it would not go beyond their throats; they would (hurriedly) pass through (the teachings of their) religion just as the arrow passes through the prey. I conceive that he (the Holy Prophet) also said this: If I find them I would certainly kill them as were killed the (people of) Thamud.

"When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold that was still enclosed in rock to the Prophet [SAW], who distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali, who belonged to Banu Mujashi', 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulathah Al-'Amiri, who belonged to Banu Kilab and Zaid Al-Khail At-Ta'I, who belonged to Banu Nabhan. The Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said: 'He gives to the chiefs of Najd and ignores us!' He said: 'I am seeking to win them over (firmly to Islam).' Then a man with sunken eyes, a bulging forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head came and said: 'O Muhammad, fear Allah!' He said: 'Who will obey Allah if I do not? He trusts me with the people of this Earth but you do not trust me.' A man among the people asked for permission to kill him, but he did not let him do that. When (the man) went away, he (the Prophet [SAW]) said: 'Among the offspring of this man there will be people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes through the target. They will kill the Muslims and leave the idol-worshippers alone. If I live to see them, I will kill them as the killing of 'Ad.'"

"When he was in Yemen, Ali sent a piece of gold that was still mixed with sediment to the Messenger of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah distributed it among four people: Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali, 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulathah Al- 'Amiri, who was from Banu Kilab and Zaid Al-Ta'I who was from Banu Nabhan. The Quraish" - he said one time: became angry and said: 'You give to the chiefs of Najdand that, so as to soften their hearts toward Islam.' Then a man with a thick beard, prominent cheeks, and a shaven head came and said: 'Fear Allah. O Muhammad! He said: 'Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) He has entrusted me with all the people of the Earth but you do not trust me?' Then the man went away, and a man from among the people, whom they (the narrators) think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, asked for permission to kill him. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Among the offspring of this man will be some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go any further than their throats. They will kill the Muslims but leave the idol worshippers alone, and they will passes through Islam as an arrow passes through the body of the target. If I live to see them. I will kill them all, as the people of 'Ad were killed."'

‘Ali sent some gold-mixed dust to the prophet (May peace be upon him). He divided it among the four : al-Aqra b. Habis al-Hanzall and then al-Mujashi, uyainah b.

[Machine] Ali sent a pouch of gold from Yemen to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that was made of silver coins that had not been obtained from their land. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it between four people: Zaid Al-Khair, Al-Aqra' bin Habis, 'Uyaynah bin Hisn, and 'Alqamah bin 'Ulathah or 'Amir bin Al-Tufail. 'Umamah then doubted the integrity of 'Umarah, so he investigated and found that some of his companions, the Ansar, and others had received from it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you not pleased with me, while I am trustworthy and those in the heavens bring news to me morning and evening?" Then, a man with deep-set eyes, prominent cheeks, towering forehead, thick beard, untied garment, and shaved head came to him and said, "Fear Allah, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head to him and said, "Woe to you! Shouldn't I be the most deserving of the people of the earth to fear Allah?" Then, the man turned away, and Khalid said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I strike his neck?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps he is praying." Khalid said, "But he is a hypocrite who utters with his tongue what is not in his heart." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have not been commanded to pierce the hearts of people or slit open their bellies." Then, the Prophet ﷺ looked at him while he was leaving and said, "Indeed, a group will emerge from this man's descendants who recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats.

"When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold that was still enclosed in rock to the Prophet [SAW], who distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali, who belonged to Banu Mujashi', 'Uyaynah bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqamah bin 'Ulathah Al-'Amiri, who belonged to Banu Kilab and Zaid Al-Khail At-Ta'I, who belonged to Banu Nabhan. The Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said: 'He gives to the chiefs of Najd and ignores us!' He said: 'I am seeking to win them over (firmly to Islam).' Then a man with sunken eyes, a bulging forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head came and said: 'O Muhammad, fear Allah!' He said: 'Who will obey Allah if I do not? He trusts me with the people of this Earth but you do not trust me.' A man among the people asked for permission to kill him, but he did not let him do that. When (the man) went away, he (the Prophet [SAW]) said: 'Among the offspring of this man there will be people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes through the target. They will kill the Muslims and leave the idol-worshippers alone. If I live to see them, I will kill them as the killing of 'Ad.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4101)

"عن أبى سعيد قال: قال عليُّ بنُ أبى طالب أتَيْتُ رسُول الله ﷺ (بذهبة في تربتها) ، وَكَانَ بَعَثَهُ مصَدِّقًا على اليَمَن، فَقَال: اقْسمها بَيْن أرْبَعَة: بَيْن الأقْرعِ بن حَابِسٍ، وَزَيد الخَيْل الطَّائى، وعُيَينَةَ بنِ حصن الفَزَارِيِّ، وعَلْقَمة بن

علاثة العَامِرىِّ! فقام رجل غائر العَيْنَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الجَبين، مُشْرفُ الجَبْهَةِ مَحلُوقُ الرَّأس، فَقَال: والله مَا عَدلتَ، فقال: ويْلَكَ! مَنْ يَعْدِلُ إذَا لَم أَعْدِلْ؟ إنَّما أتألفُهم، فَأقْبلُوا عَليهِ ليقْتُلُوهُ، فَقَالَ: اتركوه! فَإِنَ من ضِئضئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يخرجُون فِى آخِر الرمًان يَقْتُلُونَ أهْلَ الإسْلام، وَيتْركُون أَهْل الأوْثَانِ، لئن أدركْتهم قَتَلتهم قَتْل عَادٍ ".

"عَن ابْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَ عَلىٌّ إلى رَسُول الله ﷺ بذهَبيَّةٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ في أَدَيمٍ مقَرْوظٍ لَمْ تُحَصِّلْ مِنْ تُرابِهَا، قَسَّمَهَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَة: بَيْنَ زَيْدِ الْخَيل، والأَقْرَع بْنِ حَابِسٍ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ حُصْنٍ، وعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِى عِلَاثَةَ أَوْ عَامِر بْنِ الطُّفَيْل، فَوَجَدَ في ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِه وَالأَنْصَار، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : لَا تَأتَمِنُونِى وأَنَا أَمِينُ منْ في السَّمَاءِ؟ يَأتِينِى خَبَرُ مَنْ في السَّماءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَساءً، ثُمَّ أتاهُ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ العَينين، مَشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الْجَبْهةِ، كَثُّ اللِّحيةِ، مشمر الإِزَارِ، مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأسِ،

فَقَالَ لَهُ: اتَّقِ الله -تَعَالَى- يَا رَسُولَ الله، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ أَلْست أَحَقَّ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَنْ أَتَّقى الله؟ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ، فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بنُ الْوَلِيدِ: أَلا أضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ يَا رَسُول الله؟ فَقَال رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ يُصَلِّى فَقَالَ خَالدٌ: إِنَّهُ رُبَّ مُصَلٍّ فَيَقُولُ بِلِسَانِهِ مَا لَيْسَ في قَلْبِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِنِّى لَمْ أُؤْمَرْ أَنْ أُنَقِّب عَنْ أُمُورِ النَّاسِ وَلَا أَشق بُطُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ نَظَر إِلَيْه رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَهُو مُقَفٍّ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُج مِنْ ضِئْضء هَذَا قَوْمٌ يَقْرَأُونَ الْقُرآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرقُونَ منَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِن الرَّميَّةِ".
