أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو سَعْدٍ: عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ الزَّاهِدُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ بْنِ الْعُرْيَانِ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيُّ، ثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ، ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَقُولُ: حُجُّوا قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا تَحُجُّوا. فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى حَبَشِيٍّ أَصْمَعَ أَفْدَعَ بِيَدِهِ مِعْوَلٌ يَهْدِمُهَا حَجَرًا حَجَرًا، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: شَيْءٌ بِرَأْيِكَ تَقُولُ أَوْ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ، وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ

I heard ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) say: "Perform the Hajj before you are no longer able to perform it. It is as though I see an Abyssinian, small-eared and with twisted hands, a pickaxe in his hand, demolishing it stone by stone." So I said to him: "Is this something you say from your own opinion, or did you hear it from the Messenger of God ﷺ?" He said: "No, by the One who split the grain and created the soul, but I heard it from your Prophet ﷺ."

هذا يرويه حصين بن عمر عن الأعمش ولحصين غير هذا من الحديث وعامة أحاديثه معاضيل ينفرد عن كل من يروي عنه
machine translationḤuṣayn b. ʿUmar narrates this from al-Aʿmash. Ḥuṣayn has other hadiths besides this one, and most of his hadiths are broken (muʿḍalāt); he is alone in narrating them from everyone he narrates from.
