Sahih Muslim, 2469

Rapporté par Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Il surgira de ma communauté après moi, ou peu après moi, un groupe de gens qui réciteront le Coran, mais il ne dépassera pas leur gorge, et ils passeront à côté de leur religion comme une flèche traverse sa cible, sans jamais y revenir. Ils seront les pires des créatures. » Ibn Samit (un des narrateurs) a dit : « J’ai rencontré Rafi’ ibn ‘Amr al-Ghifari, le frère d’Al-Hakam al-Ghifari, et je lui ai demandé : “Quel est ce hadith que j’ai entendu d’Abu Dharr ?” Puis je lui ai rapporté ce hadith et il m’a dit : “Je l’ai entendu du Messager d’Allah ﷺ.” »

Abu Dharr reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Verily there would arise from my Ummah after me or soon after me a group (of people) who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey, and they would never come back to it. They would be the worst among the creation and the creatures. Ibn Samit (one of the narrators) said: I met Rafi' b. 'Amr Ghifari, the brother of Al-Hakam Ghifari and I said: What is this hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr, i. e. so and so? and then I narrated that hadith to him and said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
