Sunan Ibn Majah 176 (Book) #37078
The Khawarij: A Warning from the Messenger of Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Khawarij, a group of people who were Muslims but became disbelievers. Abu Umamah heard this from the Messenger of Allah and said that they are the worst of those killed under heaven and the best of those killed by them, and that they are dogs of Hell.

Abu Ghalib narrated that Abu Umamah said: "(The Khawarij) are the worst of the slain who are killed under heaven, and the best of the slain are those who were killed by them. Those (Khawarij) are the dogs of Hell. Those people were Muslims but they became disbelievers". I said: "O Abu Umamah, is that your opinion?" He said: "Rather I heard it from the Messenger of Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، يَقُولُ شَرُّ قَتْلَى قُتِلُوا تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى مَنْ قَتَلُوا كِلاَبُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَدْ كَانَ هَؤُلاَءِ مُسْلِمِينَ فَصَارُوا كُفَّارًا ‏.‏ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ هَذَا شَىْءٌ تَقُولُهُ قَالَ بَلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ
