English

[2469] 158 – (1067) It was narrated that Abü Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'After me among my Ummah there will be people who recite the Qur'ân, but it does not go any further than their throats. They will pass out of the religion as an arrow passes out of the prey, then they will not return to it. They are the most evil of mankind and of all creation." Ibn As-Samit said: "I met Râfi' bin 'Amr A]-Ghifârl, the brother of Al-Hakam AI-Ghifârl, and I said: 'What is this HadIth that I have heard from Abü Dharr, (saying) such and such?' And I quoted this Hadith to him. He said: 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah too."
