[Machine] I was sitting with Ali when a man wearing traveling clothes entered. Ali was speaking to the people and they were speaking to him. The man asked Ali, "May I speak?" But Ali did not turn to him and he was preoccupied with something. So, I sat next to the man and asked him, "What's your news?" He replied, "I was performing Umrah and I met Aisha who said to me, 'These people who have left your land are called Haruriyyah.' I said, 'They left from a place called Harurā', so they are called that.' She said, 'Blessed is the one who witnessed their destruction. If the son of Abu Talib wanted, he could inform you about them.' So, I came to ask him about their news. When Ali finished, he said, 'Where is the one who sought permission?' So, the man narrated the story to him as he had narrated it to us. He said, 'I entered upon the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and there was no one with him except Aisha, the Mother of the Believers.' So, he said to me, 'O Ali, how are you and your people?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' Then he pointed with his hand and said, 'There are people who come out from the east reciting the Quran, but their understanding does not go beyond their throats. They pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through its target. Among them is a man whose appearance is deceiving, as if his hand is in the breast. Shall I inform you about them?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I solemnly swear by Allah, have I informed you about them?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'So you come to me and inform me that he is not among them, and then I swear by Allah that he is among them? Then you come to me and drag him as you were named?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.'"
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ جَالِسًا إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُ السَّفَرِ قَالَ وَعَلِيٌّ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ وَيُكَلِّمُونَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «أَتَأْذَنُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمُ؟ فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ وَشَغَلَهُ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَا خَبَرُكَ؟» قَالَ كُنْتُ مُعْتَمِرًا فَلَقِيتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لِي «هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا فِي أَرْضِكُمْ يُسَمُّونَ حَرُورِيَّةً» قُلْتُ خَرَجُوا فِي مَوْضِعٍ يُسَمَّى حَرُورَاءَ فَسُمُّوا بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ «طُوبَى لِمَنْ شَهِدَ هَلَكَتَهُمْ لَوْ شَاءَ ابْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَأَخَبَرَكُمْ خَبَرَهُمْ» فَجِئْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ خَبَرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ الْمُسْتَأْذِنُ؟ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا قَصَّ عَلَيْنَا» قَالَ «إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» فَقَالَ لِي «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَقَوْمُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ وَقَالَ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ «قَوْمٌ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجٌ كَأَنَّ يَدَهُ ثَدْيٌ أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «أُنَاشِدُكُمْ بِاللهِ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنَّهُ فِيهِمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأَتَيْتُمُونِي فَأَخْبَرْتُمُونِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ فَحَلَفْتُ لَكُمْ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ فِيهِمْ فَأَتَيْتُمُونِي بِهِ تَسْحَبُونَهُ كَمَا نُعِتَ لَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ»
