أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الْجَيْشِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا إِلَى الْخَوَارِجِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَيَخْرُجُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَيْسَ قِرَاءَتُكُمْ إِلَى قِرَاءَتِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا صَلَاتُكُمْ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا صِيَامُكُمْ إِلَى صِيَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُ لَهُمْ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَا تُجَاوِزُ صَلَاتُهُمْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِي يُصِيبُونَهُمْ مَا قُضِيَ لَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ لَا تَكِلُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا لَهُ عَضُدٌ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ ذِرَاعٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَضُدِهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ بِيضٌ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ فَنَزَّلَنِي زَيْدٌ مَنْزِلًا مَنْزِلًا حَتَّى مَرَرْنَا عَلَى قَنْطَرَةٍ عَلَى الْخَوَارِجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «أَلْقُوا الرِّمَاحَ وَسُلُّوا سُيُوفَكُمْ مِنْ جُفُونِهَا فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُنَاشِدُوكُمْ» قَالَ «فَسَلُّوا السُّيُوفَ وَأَلْقُوا جُفُونَهَا وَشَجَرَهُمُ النَّاسُ يَعْنِي بِرِمَاحِهِمْ فَقُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَمَا أُصِيبُ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا رَجُلَانِ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ «الْتَمِسُوا فِيهِمُ الْمُخْدَجَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ بِنَفْسِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى نَاسًا قَتْلَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ» قَالَ جَرِّدُوهُمْ فَوَجَدُوهُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْأَرْضَ فَكَبَّرَ عَلِيٌّ وَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ ﷺ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُبَيْدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «آللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟» قَالَ «إِي وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى اسْتَحْلَفَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ لَهُ»

✧ He was in the army that was with Ali when they marched against the Khawarij. Ali said, "O people, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'A people will come out from my nation who recite the Quran. Your recitation is nothing compared to theirs, your prayer is nothing compared to theirs, and your fasting is nothing compared to theirs. They recite the Quran, thinking it is for them, but it is against them. Their prayer does not pass beyond their collarbones. They pass through Islam as an arrow passes through the game. If you knew the army that will strike them, what was decreed for them on the tongue of their Prophet ﷺ, you would not rely merely on deeds. The sign of that is that among them is a man who has an upper arm but no forearm, and on the end of his upper arm is something like the nipple of a woman's breast, with white hairs on it.'" Salamah said, "Zayd took me from place to place until we came upon a bridge over the Khawarij, where Abdullah b. Wahb al-Rasibi said to them, 'Throw down your spears and draw your swords from their scabbards, for I fear they will adjure you.'" He said, "They drew their swords and threw down the scabbards, and the people thrust at them with their spears. Some of them were killed on top of others, and only two of our men were wounded that day." Ali said, "Look for the maimed one among them," but they did not find him. Ali himself stood up and went to people who were slain, some on top of others. He said, "Strip them." They found him underneath, near the ground. Ali said the takbir and said, "Allah has spoken the truth and His Messenger ﷺ has conveyed it." Ubaydah al-Salmani stood up to him and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, by Allah, besides whom there is no god, did you hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "Yes, by Allah, besides whom there is no god, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He made him swear three times, and he swore to him.
