Yusair bin 'Amr reported that he inquired of Sahl bin Hunaif: Did you hear the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) making a mention of the Khwarij? He said: I heard him say (and he pointed with his hand towards the east) that these would be a people who would recite the Qur'an with their tongues and it would not go beyond their collar bones. They would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey.

Sahl bin Hunaif reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There would arise from the east a people with shaven heads.
