"بَينا أنا نائِمٌ إِذَا زُمْرَةٌ حَتَّى إِذَا عَرَفتهُمْ خرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيني وَبَينهمْ فَقال: هَلُمَّ، فَقلتُ: أَينَ؟ قَال: إِلَى النَّار وَاللهِ، قُلتُ: وَمَا شَأنهُمْ؟ قَال: إِنَّهُمْ ارْتَدُّوا عَلَى أدْبَارهِمْ القَهْقَرَى فَلا أَرَاه يَخْلُصُ فِيهمْ إِلَّا مِثْلَ هَمَلِ النَّعَم".

The Prophet ﷺ said, "While I was sleeping, a group (of my followers were brought close to me), and when I recognized them, a man (an angel) came out from amongst (us) me and them, he said (to them), 'Come along.' I asked, 'Where?' He said, 'To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah' I asked, 'what is wrong with them' He said, 'They turned apostate as renegades after you left.' Then behold! (Another) group (of my followers) were brought close to me, and when I recognized them, a man (an angel) came out from (me and them) he said (to them); Come along.' I asked, "Where?' He said, 'To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah.' I asked, What is wrong with them?' He said, 'They turned apostate as renegades after you left. So I did not see anyone of them escaping except a few who were like camels without a shepherd."  

البخاري:٦٥٨٧ – حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هِلاَلٌ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ إِذَا زُمْرَةٌ حَتَّى إِذَا عَرَفْتُهُمْ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ هَلُمَّ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ قَالَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَاللَّهِ قُلْتُ وَمَا شَأْنُهُمْ قَالَ إِنَّهُمُ ارْتَدُّوا بَعْدَكَ عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمُ الْقَهْقَرَى ثُمَّ إِذَا زُمْرَةٌ حَتَّى إِذَا عَرَفْتُهُمْ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ هَلُمَّ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ قَالَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَاللَّهِ قُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُهُمْ قَالَ إِنَّهُمُ ارْتَدُّوا بَعْدَكَ عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمُ الْقَهْقَرَى فَلاَ أُرَاهُ يَخْلُصُ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ مِثْلُ هَمَلِ النَّعَمِ
