Musnad Ahmad 1378, 1379 (Book 5, Hadith 777) #35003
Warning Against Hypocrites

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned of people who will recite the Quran but not act upon it, and described one of them as having a deformed arm.

It was narrated from 'Asim bin Kulaib, that his father said: I was sitting with 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) and he said: I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there was no one with him except 'A'ishah (رضي الله عنها), and he said: "O son of Abu Talib, how would you be with people of such and such a type?" I said: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: 'Some people will emerge from the East who recite the Qur'an but it will go no further than their collarbones. They will pass out of the faith as the arrow passes out of the prey. Among them will be a man with a deformed arm, as if his arm is the breast of an Abyssinian woman"'.Asim bin Kulaib narrated that his father said: I was sitting with 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) when a man wearing travelling clothes entered upon him. He asked for permission to enter upon 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) when he was speaking to the people, so he was distracted from him'.Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and 'A'ishah (رضي الله عنها) was with him. He said to me: "How will you be with people of such and such a type?' I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Then he repeated it and I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: 'Some people will emerge from the east who will recite the Qur'an but it will go no further than their collarbones. They will pass out of the faith as the arrow passes out of the prey. Among them will be a man with a deformed arm, as if his arm is the breast of an Abyssinian woman'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَقَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ قَوْمٌ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنْ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنْ الرَّمِيَّةِ فَمِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ كَأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ ثَدْيُ حَبَشِيَّةٍ. حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُ السَّفَرِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَشُغِلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لِي كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَقَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنْ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنْ الرَّمِيَّةِ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ كَأَنَّ يَدَهُ ثَدْيُ حَبَشِيَّةٍ أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is warning us about people who will recite the Quran but not act upon it. He describes one of these people as having a deformed arm, like the breast of an Abyssinian woman. This is to show how different they are from true believers in Islam, who strive to live their lives according to what Allah has commanded in the Quran and Sunnah. The Prophet's warning serves as a reminder for us to be careful about whom we associate with and take advice from; we should only seek guidance from those who truly practice what they preach. We should also strive to be true believers ourselves by following Allah's commands and avoiding hypocrisy in our actions and words.
