which Islamic group is this hadith best describing? Narrated Ibn Abbas : The Prophet said , AMONG THE OFFSPRING OF THIS MAN WILL BE SOME WHO WILL RECITE THE QUR AN BUT THE QUR AN WILL NOT REACH BEYOND THEIR THROATS. ( Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55 , Number 558) Narrated Ali: I heard Allah s Apostle saying , In the last days of this world there will appear some young foolish people who will use ( in their claim) the best speech of all people ( i .e . the Qur an) and they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game . Their belief will not go beyond their throats.. . ( Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56 , Number 808) In these hadiths our Prophet ( saas ) sets out the characteristics of ignorant , so - called scholars in the End Times: 1. They will be foolish, in other words , they will have weak intelligence , 2. They will use the best speech of all people , in other words, they will talk at great length and make statements lasting for hours , but their words will not be reflected in their lives and moral values . There will be no harmony between what they say and how they live . For example , they will describe the self - sacrifice of believers with verses from the Qur’ an, but personally they will be preoccupied by their own comfort . They will speak of the importance of serving on the path of Allah, but since they are preoccupied with their families and businesses they will engage in no intellectual struggle. Our Prophet ( saas ) means when he says, Their belief will not go beyond their throats, that these people will not behave sincerely.
