أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ وَاصِلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ §خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ بِقَنْطَرَةٍ الدَّيْزَجَانِ فَقَالَ
إِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لِي خَارِجَةٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَفِيهِمْ ذُو الثُّدَيَّةِ فَقَاتِلْهُمْ فَقَالَتِ الْحَرُورِيَّةُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ «لَا تُكَلِّمُوهُ فَيَرُدَّكُمْ كَمَا رَدَّكُمْ يَوْمَ حَرُورَاءَ فَشَجَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِالرِّمَاحِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَلِيٍّ «اقْطَعُوا الْعَوَالِيَ وَالْعَوَالِي الرِّمَاحُ فَدَارُوا وَاسْتَدَارُوا وَقُتِلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَلِيٍّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا» فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ «الْتَمِسُوا الْمُخْدَجَ وَذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ شَاتٍ» فَقَالُوا مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَكِبَ عَلِيٌّ بَغْلَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الشَّهْبَاءَ فَأَتَى وَهْدَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضٍ فَقَالَ «الْتَمِسُوهُ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ فَأُخْرِجَ» فَقَالَ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ فَقَالَ «اعْمَلُوا وَلَا تَتَّكِلُوا لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَتَّكِلُوا لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِمَا قَضَى اللهُ لَكُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِهِ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَقَدْ شَهِدَنَا أُنَاسٌ بِالْيَمَنِ» قَالُوا كَيْفَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ «كَانَ هَوَاهُمْ مَعَنَا»

✧ It was mentioned to me that a group would come out from the direction of the east, and among them is Dhu al-Thudayyah. Fight them. The Haruriyyah said to one another, "Do not speak to him, lest he turn you back as he turned you back on the day of Harura." Then they thrust at one another with spears. A man from the companions of Ali said, "Cut off the spearheads—the spearheads are the spears themselves." So they circled and surrounded, and twelve or thirteen men from the companions of Ali were killed. Ali said, "Look for the maimed one," and that was on a cold day. They said, "We cannot find him." So Ali rode the Prophet's ﷺ gray mule, came to a depression in the ground, and said, "Look for him among these." He was brought out. He said, "I have not lied, nor have I been lied to." Then he said, "Act, and do not rely solely. Were it not that I fear you would rely solely, I would inform you of what Allah has decreed for you on the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ. People were present with us in Yemen." They said, "How, O Commander of the Faithful?" He said, "Their hearts were with us."
