Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: `Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to Allah's Apostle . Allah's Apostle distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin H`Abis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his companions said, We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons). When that news reached the Prophet , he said, Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the evening? There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, O Allah's Apostle! Be afraid of Allah. The Prophet said, Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear Allah? Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, O Allah's Apostle! Shall I chop his neck off? The Prophet said, No, for he may offer prayers. Khalid said, Numerous are those who offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts. Allah's Apostle said, I have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies. Then the Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, From the offspring of this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body. I think he also said, If I should be present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed.
