Narrated Abu Saeed AlKhudri: Ali Bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore; in a tanned leather container to Allah Messenger ﷺ. Allah Messenger ﷺ distributed that amongst four Persons: Uyaina Bin Badr; Aqra Bin HAbis; Zaid AlKhail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir Bin AlTufail. On that; one of his companions said; We are more deserving of this gold than these persons. When that news reached the Prophet ﷺ ; he said; Dont you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens; and I receive the news of Heaven i.e. Divine Inspiration both in the morning and in the evening? There got up a man with sunken eyes; raised cheek bones; raised forehead; a thick beard; a shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! Be afraid of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said; Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear Allah? Then that man went away. Khalid Bin AlWahd said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! Shall I chop his neck off? The Prophet ﷺ said; No; for he may offer prayers. Khalid said; Numerous are those who offer prayers and say by their tongues i.e. mouths what is not in their hearts. Allah Messenger ﷺ said; I have not been ordered by Allah to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies. Then the Prophet looked at him i.e. that man while the latter was going away and said; From the offspring of this man there will come out people who will recite the Quran continuously and elegantly but it will not exceed their throats. They will neither understand it nor act upon it. They would go out of the religion i.e. Islam as an arrow goes through a game body. I think he also said; If I should be present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed.
