Your Salats would be degraded in the side (compared to) their Salat, and your Fasts in the presence of their Fasts. They will be reciting the Quran not exceeding their throats. Their sign is a black man (Ethiopian)’, or said: ‘Disabled, crippled of a hand. One of his breasts is like a breast of a woman, or a rolled-up merchandise’. And in one of the ‘Saheehs’: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Abu Bakr, and the man had disappeared from his eyes: ‘Arise to this one and kill him! ’ He stood up, then returned and said, ‘I found him praying Salat’. He-saww said to Umar similar to that. He returned and said, ‘I found him praying Salat’. He-saww said to Ali-asws similar to that. He-asws said: ‘I-asws could not find him’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘If this one had been killed, it would have been the beginning of the Fitna and its end. But, he will be coming out from this clutter’ – this is the Hadeeth, and in one of the ‘Saheeh’ – ‘They will be killed by the foremost of the two sects with the truth’’. [32]
And in (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Ahmad Bin Hanbal, from Masrouq who said, ‘Ayesha said to me, ‘You are from my children, and from their most beloved ones to me.

And in it, Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘A group will be emerging during the end of times, young of age, foolish of the dreams.
