Musnad Abi Ya'la 481

Translation

✧ I was sitting with Ali when a man in travel clothes came and said, “O Commander of the Faithful, will you permit me to speak?” Ali was speaking to the people and they were speaking to him, and he paid no attention to the man. Then I asked the man about his news, and he said, “I was performing umrah and met Aisha. She asked, ‘Who are these people who have gone out in your land called the Haruriyya?’ I said, ‘They went out from a place called Harura, and they were named after that.’ She said, ‘Did you witness their destruction? I do not know’ – he said, ‘Yes,’ or, ‘No.’ Then she said, ‘Blessed is the one who witnesses their destruction. By Allah, if Ali b. Abi Talib wished, he would tell you their story.’ So I came to ask him about them.” Ali finished, and said, “Where is the one who sought permission?” The man told him what he had told us. Ali said, “There is no god but Allah,” and said “Allahu akbar” twice, then said, “I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when no one was with him except Aisha, the Mother of the Believers. He said, ‘O Ali, how will you be with a people who are such and such?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He gestured with his hand and said, ‘A people who will come out of the east, reciting the Quran but it will not pass beyond their collarbones. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through its target. Among them is a man with a defective limb, whose hand is like the breast of an Abyssinian woman. I adjure you by Allah, did I tell you about them?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘I adjure you by Allah, did I tell you that he is one of them?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Then you told me that he is not one of them, so I swore to you that he is one of them.’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Then you came to me dragging him just as I described to you?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.’”
