حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ صِفِّينَ انْصَرَفُوا، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ؓ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: تَقْتُلُ عَمَّارًا الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو لِمُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ: أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ إِلَى ابْنِ أَخِيكَ مَا يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ: أُعِيذُكَ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّكِّ، أَفِي الشَّكِّ أَنْتَ ؟ أَنَحْنُ قَتَلْنَاهُ ؟ إِنَّمَا قَتَلَهُ مَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ
