Shareek bin Shihab says: I used to wish that I could meet a companion who would tell me about the Khawarij. By chance, I met Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of Arafah; he was with some of his companions. I said: O Abu Barzah! Please narrate to me any hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he mentioned the Khawarij. He said that dinars were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was distributing them. A black and bald man was standing by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), wearing two white garments, and there were marks of prostration between his eyes. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the front, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him anything. Then he came from behind, but again the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him anything. He said: By Allah! You have not been just at all in today’s distribution. Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became extremely angry. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! After me, you will not find anyone more just than me. He said this three times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some people will appear from the east; this man seems to be among them. They will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go below their chests. They will leave the religion just as an arrow passes cleanly through the prey. One of the narrators in this chain, Hammad, placed his hand on his chest and narrated: Those people will not return to the religion. Their sign will be that they will shave their heads. They will keep leaving the religion until their last man (will emerge) with the Dajjal. If you see them, then kill them. He also said this three times: They will be the worst of all people. He repeated this three times as well.
