حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ
سَارَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى النَّهَرَوَانِ، فَقَتَلَ الْخَوَارِجَ، فَقَالَ: اطْلُبُوا، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: سَيَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِكَلِمَةِ الْحَقِّ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، سِيمَاهُمْ - أَوْ فِيهِمْ - رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ، فِي يَدِهِ شَعَرَاتٌ سُودٌ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ، فَقَدْ قَتَلْتُمْ شَرَّ النَّاسِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِمْ، فَقَدْ قَتَلْتُمْ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا الْمُخْدَجَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَرْنَا سُجُودًا، وَخَرَّ عَلِيٌّ سَاجِدًا مَعَنَا

✧ Ali marched to Nahrawan and killed the Kharijites. He said: Search, for the Prophet ﷺ said: There will come a people who speak the word of truth but it will not pass beyond their throats. They will leave Islam as an arrow leaves the bow. Their mark—or among them—is a black man with a deformed arm, in his hand are black hairs. If he is among them, then you have killed the worst of people, and if he is not among them, then you have killed the best of people. He said: Then we found the deformed one. He said: We fell down in prostration, and Ali fell down prostrating with us.
