It is reported in Sahih Bukhari 8.184, Sahih Muslim and Tirmidhi by Abu Said Al Khudri (Radiallahu anhu) - note this is a modern English translation: One day the booty from a war was being distributed by the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) to the people according to their needs, the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was conducting adal or (distribution according to need). Dhul Khawaisira of the Tamim[1] tribe stood up and said to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) O Prophet, you are not conducting insaaf or equal distribution you are favouring some people over others. Fear Allah! The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, I am â €˜the Honest’ (al-Amin), Allah sends me knowledge of the unseen (Ilme Ghaib) in the mornings and nights. Allah trusts me but you dont. The man replied to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Be God fearing. This man was trying to teach the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Tauhid (astagfirullah), and then he turned around and walked off. Abu Said (Radiallahu anhu) then narrates, The mans eyes were deep set, his forehead and cheeks raised, he had a large beard, he was bold, and his trousers were above his knees. Note (this part is left out of translations from Saudi and Tabligh based institutes) Hazrath Khalid bin Walid and Hazrath Umar Farooq (Radiallahu anhu) ) asked permission from the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) to behead this man because he was being disrespectful to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, Do not kill him for people will say that the Muslims are killing their own people. It would create misunderstanding amongst the people. Recognise this mans appearance. In the last period of my Ummah some people will come out of his generation and be in my Ummah. They will have the same appearance as him and they will read the Qur’aan and namaaz more than you. They will practice more than you, but in spite of this they will deviate from the body of Islam just like an arrow deviates from its motion when released from the bow. They will have no connection to Islam at all. This man, who was a blasphemer of Holy Prophets faultless Holy being (ghustaq e Rasool), was named Dhul Khawaisira Tamimi. Again in this incident two groups of Belief (Aqida) emerged: the group of Umar Faruq (radiallahu anhu) and Khalid bin Walid (radiallahu anhu), and the group of Dhul Khawaisira Tamimi. One group was of reverence whereas the other was not. Dhul Khawaisira Tamimi ignored reverence of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) even though the reality of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was apparent before him. Hazrath Umar Farooq and Hazrath Khalid bin Walid inherited the attitude of the angels, and Dhul Khawaisira Tamimi inherited the attitude of Iblis. Now, Dhul Khawaisira Tamimi was a well- known Muslim. He read namaaz, he read Qur’aan, he paid his Zakaat and he practised Islam more than most people, but still he was a hypocrite. Why? The reason why is that he had no love and reverence for the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in his heart. Because of this he was a Blasphemer of Holy Prophets faultless Holy being (ghustaq e Rasool), a person with no true Iman. (See also Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)
