Sahih al-Bukhari 7562 (Book 97, Hadith 187) #7264
Renouncing Islam and its Signs

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of a group of people who will recite the Quran but not understand it, and they will renounce Islam and never come back to it.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (ie, impossible). The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards and their heads).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سِيرِينَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَخْرُجُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَيَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ لاَ يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ السَّهْمُ إِلَى فُوقِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قِيلَ مَا سِيمَاهُمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ سِيمَاهُمُ التَّحْلِيقُ ‏"‏‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ التَّسْبِيدُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a group of people who will emerge from the East. They will recite the Quran but their recitation won't reach beyond their throats, meaning that they won't understand what they are saying. They will also renounce Islam as an arrow passes through game, meaning that they won't come back to it unless something impossible happens. The Prophet then said that one sign of this group is their habit of shaving both their beards and heads. This hadith teaches us that we should not only recite the Quran but also try to understand its teachings so we can practice them in our lives. We should also be careful about those who claim to follow Islam but don’t actually practice its teachings or have any understanding of them; such people may end up leaving the religion altogether if we are not careful enough.
