حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَمْرُقُ مَارِقَةٌ فِي فُرْقَةٍ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَيَلِي قَتْلَهُمْ أَوْلَی الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ بِالْحَقِّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2460
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There would be two groups in my Ummah, and there would emerge another group (seceding itself from both of them), and the party nearer to the truth among the two would kill them (the group of the Khawarij).
