أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهَا سَتَکُونُ بَعْدِي هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ يُرِيدُ تَفْرِيقَ أَمْرِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُمْ جَمِيعٌ فَاقْتُلُوهُ کَائِنًا مَنْ کَانَ مِنْ النَّاسِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4036
It was narrated that ‘Arfajah bin Shuraih said: “The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior.’ He raised his hands (and said): Whomever you see trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when they are all united, kill him, no matter who he is among the people.” (Sahih)
