أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، ثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ:
أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الْجَيْشِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا إِلَى الْخَوَارِجِ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْسَتْ قِرَاءَتُكُمْ إِلَى قِرَاءَتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ، وَلَا صَلَاتُكُمْ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ، وَلَا صِيَامُكُمْ إِلَى صِيَامِهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ، يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ، لَا تُجَاوِزُ صَلَاتُهُمْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ". لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْجَيْشُ الَّذِينَ يُصِيبُونَهُمْ مَا قَضَى اللهُ لَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ لَاتَّكَلُوا عَنِ الْعَمَلِ، وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا لَهُ عَضُدٌ، وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ ذِرَاعٌ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ، عَلَيْهَا شَعَرَاتٌ بِيضٌ، فَتَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَهْلِ الشَّامِ، وَتَتْرُكُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَخْلُفُونَكُمْ فِي ذَرَارِيِّكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ سَفَكُوا الدَّمَ، وَأَغَارُوا فِي سَرْحِ النَّاسِ، فَسِيرُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللهِ. قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَنَزَّلَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ مَنْزِلًا مَنْزِلًا، حَتَّى قَالَ: مَرَرْنَا عَلَى قَنْطَرَةٍ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا وَعَلَى الْخَوَارِجِ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: أَلْقُوا الرِّمَاحَ، وَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَكُمْ مِنْ جُفُونِهَا؛ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُنَاشِدُوكُمْ كَمَا نَاشَدُوكُمْ يَوْمَ حَرُورَاءَ فَرَجَعْتُمْ، قَالَ: فَوَحَّشُوا بِرِمَاحِهِمْ، وَسَلُّوا السُّيُوفَ، وَشَجَرَهُمُ النَّاسُ بِرِمَاحِهِمْ. قَالَ: فَقُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَمَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ. فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْتَمِسُوا فِيهِمُ الْمُخْدَجَ، فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ بِنَفْسِهِ فَالْتَمَسَهُ فَوَجَدَهُ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عَبِيدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، آللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَسَمِعْتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: إِي وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، حَتَّى اسْتَحْلَفَهُ ثَلَاثًا، وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ لَهُ

That he was among the army who were with ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (may God be pleased with him) who marched against the Khawārij. ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) said: "O people, I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'There will emerge from my nation a people who recite the Qur'an; your recitation is nothing compared to their recitation, nor your prayer compared to their prayer, nor your fasting compared to their fasting. They recite the Qur'an, but their prayer does not pass beyond their collarbones. They pass through Islam as the arrow passes through the game.' If the army that fights them knew what God has decreed for them upon the tongue of their Prophet ﷺ, they would rely on it and abandon action. The sign of that is that among them is a man who has an upper arm but no forearm, on his upper arm like the nipple of a woman's breast, upon which are white hairs. Would you go to Muʿāwiyah and the people of Syria and leave these people to succeed you over your offspring and your wealth? By God, I hope that they are these very people; for they have shed blood and raided the people's pasturing livestock. So march in the name of God." Salamah said: Zayd b. Wahb made me stop at each stage, one by one, until he said: We passed over a bridge. He said: When we met them, the leader of the Khawārij that day was ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb al-Rāsibī, and he said to them: "Throw down the spears and draw your swords from their sheaths; for I fear that they will adjure you as they adjured you on the day of Ḥarūrāʾ, and you went back." He said: So they cast aside their spears and drew their swords, and the people thrust at them with their spears. He said: So they were killed one upon another, and none of the people were hit that day except two men. ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) said: "Look among them for the one with the deformed arm." They did not find him, so ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) got up himself and searched for him and found him. He said: "God spoke the truth and His Messenger conveyed it." Then ʿUbaydah al-Salmānī stood up to him and said: "O Commander of the Believers, by God besides whom there is no god, did you hear this ḥadīth from the Messenger of God ﷺ?" He said: "Yes, by God besides whom there is no god," until he made him swear three times, and he swore to him.
