‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏سَيَخْرُجُ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ ‏ ‏تَرَاقِيَهُمْ ‏ ‏كُلَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قُطِعَ كُلَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قُطِعَ ‏ ‏حَتَّى عَدَّهَا زِيَادَةً عَلَى عَشْرَةِ مَرَّاتٍ ‏ ‏كُلَّمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قُطِعَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ‏ ‏الدَّجَّالُ ‏ ‏فِي بَقِيَّتِهِمْ ‏

English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) that he said: 'And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There will emerge from my ummah people from the direction of the east who recite the Quran but it does not pass beyond their collarbones. Every time a generation of them is cut off, another generation emerges" — and he counted this more than ten times — "every time a generation of them is cut off, another emerges — until the Dajjal emerges among their remnants."'
