Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي اخْتِلَافٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمْ قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ سِيمَاهُمْ الْحَلْقُ وَالتَّسْبِيتُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَنِيمُوهُمْ التَّسْبِيتُ يَعْنِي اسْتِئْصَالَ الشَّعْرِ الْقَصِيرِ.
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Khalid told us: Rabah told us: Ma'mar told us, from Qatadah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "There will be, among my nation, division and discord, from among whom will emerge a people who recite the Qur'an but it does not pass beyond their collarbones. Their mark is shaving of the head and close-cropping. So when you see them, kill them." — Close-cropping means cutting the hair very short.
