Narrated Sa`id Al-Umawi: I was with Marwan and Abu Huraira and heard Abu Huraira saying, I heard the trustworthy, truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet ) saying, 'The destruction of my followers will be brought about by the hands of some youngsters from Quraish. Marwan asked, Youngsters? Abu Huraira said, If you wish, I would name them: They are the children of so-and-so and the children of so-and-so.

We were in ignorance and in evil and Allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there by any evil after this good? He said, Yes. I asked, Will there be good after that evil? He said, Yes, but it would be tained with Dakhan (i.e. Little evil). I asked, What will its Dakhan be? He said, There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them. I said, Will there by any evil after that good? He said, Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them). I said, O Allah's Apostle! Describe those people to us. He said, They will belong to us and speak our language I asked, What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life? He said, Adhere to the group of Muslims and their Chief. I asked, If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)? He said, Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state.

Read More..Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: While we were with Allah's Apostle who was distributing (i.e. some property), there came Dhu-l- Khuwaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim and said, O Allah's Apostle! Do Justice. The Prophet said, Woe to you! Who could do justice if I did not? I would be a desperate loser if I did not do justice. `Umar said, O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off. The Prophet said, Leave him, for he has companions who pray and fast in such a way that you will consider your fasting negligible in comparison to theirs. They recite Qur'an but it does not go beyond their throats (i.e. they do not act on it) and they will desert Islam as an arrow goes through a victim's body, so that the hunter, on looking at the arrow's blade, would see nothing on it; he would look at its Risaf and see nothing: he would look at its Na,di and see nothing, and he would look at its Qudhadh ( 1 ) and see nothing (neither meat nor blood), for the arrow has been too fast even for the blood and excretions to smear. The sign by which they will be recognized is that among them there will be a black man, one of whose arms will resemble a woman's breast or a lump of meat moving loosely. Those people will appear when there will be differences amongst the people. I testify that I heard this narration from Allah's Apostle and I testify that `Ali bin Abi Talib fought with such people, and I was in his company. He ordered that the man (described by the Prophet ) should be looked for. The man was brought and I looked at him and noticed that he looked exactly as the Prophet had described him.
