The reason for the revelation of the hadith: (You will consider your prayer insignificant compared to their prayer.)
) regarding the Khawarij
The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the Khawarij: (You will consider your prayer insignificant compared to their prayer and your fasting insignificant compared to their fasting; they will emerge from the religion as an arrow emerges from its target) How do we know that this hadith is specifically about the Khawarij, especially since they did not exist in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nor in the time of Abu Bakr? How can it be said that it is specifically about the Khawarij?
You must know, may Allah bless you, that Allah the Exalted revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knowledge of the unseen in many matters, and this is one of His signs, where He informed him that they would emerge, that they would pray and recite the Qur'an, and that one of the Companions would consider his own prayer and recitation insignificant compared to their recitation and prayer.And he said: They recite the Qur'an and are proficient in it, but it does not go beyond their throats, may Allah protect us, meaning only with the tongue, but it does not reach the hearts.And for this he said: (They will emerge from Islam as an arrow emerges from its target) When an arrow strikes the target, like a bullet striking a bird, it pierces through and exits. So this is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described them. The first of them occurred in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the war spoils, and a man said to him: Be just, O Muhammad.or he said: This is a distribution for which I do not seek the Face of Allah—may we seek refuge in Allah—and this is emergence through speech.Because emergence is of two types: Emergence through speech, and emergence through the sword and fighting. The first is a precursor to the second, because those who emerge with the sword do not simply take up arms and walk out; they must present preconditions, which is to fill the hearts of the people with hatred and enmity toward their rulers, and then the matter becomes ready for emergence.
