Silsilat al-Ahadith al-SahihahNasir al-Din al-Albani

from Anas, with similar wording, but it does not include the hadith under discussion. Al-Bazzar recorded it (p. 207). I say: This chain of transmission is weak because of Sharik and his son.

It has another supporting report, narrated by Jamiʿ ibn Matar al-Habati: Abu Ruʾbah Shaddad ibn ʿImran al-Qaysi narrated to us from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri that Abu Bakr came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I passed through such-and-such a valley, where I found a man humbly praying, of fine appearance.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: “Go to him and kill him.”

Abu Bakr went to him, but when he saw him in that state, he disliked killing him, so he returned to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then said to Umar: “Go and kill him.” Umar went and saw him in the same state in which Abu Bakr had seen him. He too disliked killing him, so he returned and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I saw him praying humbly, and I disliked killing him.” He said: “O Ali, go and kill him.” Ali went, but did not find him. He returned and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I did not see him.” He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Indeed, this man and his companions will recite the Quran, but it will not go beyond their collarbones. They will pass out of the religion just as an arrow passes through the game, and they will not return to it until the arrow returns to its nock. So kill them, for they are the worst of creatures.”

Ahmad recorded it (3/15). I say: Its chain of transmission is good; its narrators are known and trustworthy, apart from this Abu Ruʾbah. Ibn Hibban declared him reliable, and Yazid ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Shaybani also narrated from him. Al-Haythami said (6/225): “Ahmad narrated it, and its narrators are trustworthy.” Then, on the following page, he explicitly stated that he authenticated it, along with the previously mentioned hadith of Abu Bakrah—the hadith under discussion.

(Fawq: In al-Nihayah: “The fawq of an arrow is the place where the bowstring rests.”)

عن أنس به نحوه، لكن ليس فيه حديث الترجمة. أخرجه البزار (ص ٢٠٧) . قلت: وهذا إسناد فيه ضعف من أجل شريك وابنه. وله شاهد آخر يرويه جامع بن مطر الحبطي: حدثنا أبو رؤبة شداد بن عمران القيسي عن أبي سعيد الخدري أن أبا بكر جاء إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فقال: يا رسول الله! إني مررت بوادي كذا وكذا، فإذا رجل متخشع حسن الهيئة يصلي. فقال له النبي ﷺ: اذهب إليه فاقتله. قال: فذهب إليه أبو بكر، فلما رآه على تلك الحال كره أن يقتله، فرجع إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: فقال النبي ﷺ لعمر: اذهب فاقتله، فذهب عمر فرآه على تلك الحال التي رآه أبو بكر قال فكره أن يقتله قال فرجع، فقال: يا رسول الله! إني رأيته يصلي متخشعا فكرهت أن أقتله، قال: يا علي! اذهب فاقتله، قال، فذهب علي فلم يره، فرجع علي فقال: يا رسول الله! إنه لم يره ، فقال ﷺ: إن هذا وأصحابه يقرؤون القرآن لا يجاوز تراقيهم، يمرقون من الدين كما يمرق السهم من الرمية ثم لا يعودون فيه، حتى يعود السهم في فوقه، فاقتلوهم، هم شر البرية. أخرجه أحمد (٣ / ١٥) . قلت: وإسناده حسن، رجاله ثقات معروفون، غير أبي روبة هذا، وقد وثقه ابن حبان وروى عنه يزيد بن عبد الله الشيباني أيضا وقال الهيثمي (٦ / ٢٢٥) : " رواه أحمد ورجاله ثقات ". ثم صرح في الصفحة التالية أنه صح هو وحديث أبي بكرة المتقدم، حديث الترجمة. (فوقه) : في " النهاية ": " فوق السهم: موضع الوتر منه ".
