Sahih al-Bukhari 3611 (Book 61, Hadith 118) #3450
Beware of False Prophets

SUMMARY: This hadith warns against the emergence of young people who will use the Qur'an to deceive others and abandon Islam, and encourages believers to kill them in order to receive a reward on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated 'Ali: I relate the traditions of Allah's Messenger ﷺ to you for I would rather fall from the sky than attribute something to him falsely. But when I tell you a thing which is between you and me, then no doubt, war is guile. I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying, "In the last days of this world there will appear some young foolish people who will use (in their claim) the best speech of all people (ie the Qur'an) and they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game. Their belief will not go beyond their throats (ie they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ يَأْتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ حُدَثَاءُ الأَسْنَانِ، سُفَهَاءُ الأَحْلاَمِ، يَقُولُونَ مِنْ خَيْرِ قَوْلِ الْبَرِيَّةِ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الإِسْلاَمِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، لاَ يُجَاوِزُ إِيمَانُهُمْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، فَأَيْنَمَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ، فَإِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Kill false prophets if you meet them

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns Muslims about false prophets who will appear in the last days of this world. These false prophets will use words from the Quran but they do not truly believe in it or practice its teachings. They are deceiving people by using religious language, so Allah's Messenger encourages believers to kill them if they meet them. Killing these false prophets is an act that is rewarded by Allah on the Day of Resurrection, as those who do so will be given a reward for their faithfulness and obedience. The main values taught in this hadith are faithfulness, obedience, and caution against deception. It also teaches us that we should be careful when listening to religious teachings from others as some may not be true believers themselves.
