It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: ‘while we were with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and he was distributing some wealth, Dhul Khuwaysirah, a man from Banu Tamim, came and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), be fair!’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Woe to you! Who will be fair if I man not fair? I will be doomed and lost if I am not fair’ Umar bin Al-Khattab [may Allah pleased with him] stood up and said: ‘’O Messenger of Allah (SAW), shall I not strike his neck? The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Let him be, for he has companions, in comparison to whose prayer one of you would regard his prayer as insignificant, and he would regard his fasting as insignificant in comparison to their fasting. They recite the Quran but it does not go any further than their collarbones. They will pass out of Islam as an arrow passes out of the prey, and he (the archer) looks at the tip of it and there is nothing on it, then he looks at the sinews (which tie the arrowhead to the shaft) and there is nothing on them, then he looks at its base and there is nothing on it, then he looks at his feathers and there is nothing on them, because it has gone too fast to be smeared with excrement or blood. Their sign will be a black man, one of whose uppers arms will be like a woman’s breast, or like of quivering flesh. They will emerge when there is division among the people.’ Abu Sa'eed said: ‘I bear witness that I heard this from the Messenger of Allah (SAW), and I bear witness that Ali bin Abi Talib fought them when I was with them. He ordered that this man be sought, and he was found and brought, and I looked at him and (SAW) that he was just as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) had described him. ’
