Hadith #268
Arabic Text
وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يُسِيئُونَ الْأَعْمَال
َ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ قَالَ يَزِيدُ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا قَالَ يَحْقِرُ أَحَدَكُمْ عَمَلَهُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلُوهُ كُلَّمَا طَلَعَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ

English Translation
[Ibn 'Umar continued:] 'And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A people will emerge from my ummah who do evil deeds. They recite the Quran but it does not go past their throats." ' Yazid said: 'I only recall that he said: "Each of you will consider his own deeds insignificant compared to their deeds." ' [He continued:] '"They will kill the people of Islam. Whenever they emerge, kill them; then whenever they emerge again, kill them; then whenever they emerge again, kill them. Blessed is the one who kills them, and blessed is the one they kill. Every time a horn of theirs appears, Allah (عز وجل) cuts it off." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated this twenty times or more, while I was listening.'
