170. It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'There will be people among my Ummah (nation) after me who will recite the Qur'ân, but it will not go any deeper than their throats. They will pass through Islâm like an arrow passing through its target, then they will never return to it. They are the most evil of mankind and of all creation.'" 'Abdullâh bin Sâmit said: "I mentioned that to Râfi' bin 'Amr, the brother of Hakam bin 'Amr Ghifârî and he said: 'I also heard that from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

170 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ بَعْدِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي، أَوْ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ، هُمْ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَخِي الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ، فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا أَيْضًا قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

a. Innovators are worse than animals. b. The Hadith has been taken to mean that the group of innovators are part of the Ummah, which means that in worldly affairs they shall be treated like other Muslims. They are nevertheless a deviant and sinning lot.
