<strong>The</strong>n the Prophet (;i) looked at him (i.e. that man) while he was<br />

walking away and said: "From the offspring of this man, there will<br />

appear a people who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly<br />

but it will not pass their throats (it will never reach their<br />

hearts). <strong>The</strong>y would go out of Al-Islam as an arrow goes through a<br />

game's body." I think he also said: "If I should be present at their<br />

time I would kill them as the nation of Thamud were killed."<br />

This man's name was: Dhu'l-Khuwayirah al-TamimI. He was the<br />

first Kharijite in Islam. His problem was that he became fond of his<br />

opinion. Had he been assisted (<strong>by</strong> Allah), he would have realised<br />

that no opinion was above that of Allah's Messenger (;fi).<br />

From the followers of this man were the ones who fought 'AJI <strong>Ibn</strong><br />

AbI Talib (ratfryAlldhu 'anhu) . When the war between 'Ali and<br />

Mu'awiyah continued for a long time, the army of Mu'awiyah<br />

(ratf!JAl!dhu 'anhu) raised their copies of the Qur'an and asked 'All's<br />

army to comply with the teachings of the Qur'an. <strong>The</strong>y said: You<br />

send one man, and we will send one man (as judges) and they will<br />

promise to act upon Allah's book. Everyone agreed. Mu'awiyah's<br />

people sent 'Amr <strong>Ibn</strong> Al-'A and 'AII's people suggested sending<br />

Abu Musa, but 'AJI preferred to send <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Abbas (ratfiyAl/dhu 'anhum).<br />

<strong>The</strong>y (Mu'awiyah's group) said: we do not want a man from your<br />

family, so, Abu Musa was sent.<br />

'Urwah <strong>Ibn</strong> Adiyyah said: How could you use men to rule when<br />

Allah's ruling is present. <strong>The</strong>re shall be no rule except that of Allah.<br />

'AJI (ratf!JAl!dhu 'anhu) returned from Siffin and entered Kufah,<br />

but the Kharijites did not follow him. Instead, they settled in I:lariira.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were twelve thousand of them and they said: 'there shall be<br />

no rule except that of Allah.' This is how they initially started.<br />
