Hadith #87
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ أَنْبَأَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِلَالَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَازِنِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ يَعْنِي الشُّونِيزَ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَيْسَ السَّامَ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَالسَّامُ الْمَوْتُ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Indeed, there will emerge from the Ummah — or from my Ummah — a people who recite the Quran, and your recitation is nothing compared to their recitation, and your prayer is nothing compared to their prayer, and your fasting is nothing compared to their fasting. They recite the Quran thinking it is for them, but it is against them. Their prayer does not pass their collarbones. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through game.'
