question #3 Sahih Muslim 1065a, Book 12, Hadith 194 : What analogy is used in the hadith to describe the actions or characteristics of the sect?

A man throws an arrow at the prey (or he said at the target), and sees at its iron head, but finds no sign (of blood there), or he sees at the lowest end, but would not see or find any sign (of blood there). He would then see into the grip but would not find (anything) sticking to it. Abu Sai’d then said: People of Iraq. it is you who have killed them.
