[The First Aspect]

10340 - Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ramadi narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma‘mar reported to us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Awf, from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri who said: While the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—was distributing [charity], Ibn Dhu al-Khuwaysirah al-Tamimi came to him and said: "Be just, O Messenger of Allah!" He replied: "Woe to you! Who would be just if I am not just?" ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "Allow me, O Messenger of Allah, to strike his neck." He said: "Leave him, for he has companions; one of you would belittle his own prayer compared to their prayer, and his own fasting compared to their fasting. They pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through its target. One looks at its feathers and finds nothing, then one looks at its shaft"—Ma‘mar says: "one sees nothing in it"—"then one looks at its bindings and sees nothing, then one looks at its arrowhead and finds nothing in it, as it has outpaced the offal and blood. Their sign is a black man, one of his hands—or he said: one of his arms—is like the nipple of a woman's breast, or like a piece of flesh moving. They will emerge at a time of discord among the people." He said: Then it was revealed concerning them: "And among them are those who criticize you concerning the charities; if they are given from it, they are pleased; but if they are not given from it, they become angry." Abu Sa‘id said: I bear witness that I heard this hadith from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—and I bear witness that when ‘Ali killed them and I was with him, the man was brought according to the description which the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—described.
