Hadith on Khawarij: Rebels with good words, foolish dreams

Ali ibn Abi Talib reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “In the last days, there will appear young people with foolish dreams. They will say the best of words, but they will go out of Islam just as an arrow goes through its game. Their faith will not go beyond their throats.”
