حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَثِيرٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ سَيِّدِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَيْثُ قُتِلَ أَهْلُ النَّهْرَوَانِ
كُنْتُ مَعَ سَيِّدِي [مَعَ] عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَيْثُ قُتِلَ أَهْلُ النَّهَرَوَانِ، فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ وَجَدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا بِأَقْوَامٍ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ السَّهْمُ عَلَى فُوقِهِ، وَإِنَّ آيَةَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا أَسْوَدَ مُخْدَجَ الْيَدِ، إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ كَثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ، لَهَا حَلَمَةٌ كَحَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ، حَوْلَهُ سَبْعُ هُلْبَاتٍ، فَالْتَمِسُوهُ، فَإِنِّي أُرَاهُ فِيهِمْ، فَالْتَمَسُوهُ، فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى شَفِيرِ النَّهَرِ تَحْتَ الْقَتْلَى، فَأَخْرَجُوهُ، فَكَبَّرَ عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لَمُتَقَلِّدٌ قَوْسًا لَهُ عَرَبِيَّةً، فَأَخَذَهَا بِيَدِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ بِهَا فِي مُخْدَجَتِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ وَاسْتَبْشَرُوا، وَذَهَبَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَجِدُونَ

✧ I was with my master 'Ali b. Abu Talib when the people of al-Nahrawan were killed. It was as if the people felt uneasy about killing them. 'Ali said: 'O people, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us about a people who will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through the target, and then they will never return to it until the arrow returns to its notch. The sign of that is that among them is a black man with a deformed hand, one of his hands like a woman's breast, with a nipple like the nipple of a woman's breast, around it seven hairs. So search for him, for I think he is among them.' They searched and found him at the edge of the river under the slain. They brought him out, and 'Ali said: 'Allahu akbar. Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.' He had a bow of his own, which he took in his hand and began poking at the deformed limb, saying: 'Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.' The people said 'Allahu akbar' when they saw him and rejoiced, and their unease left them.
