Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2322b
"عن أَبى البخترى الطائى أن ناسا كانوا بالكوفة. مع أَبى المختار -يعنى والد المختار بن أَبى عبيد- حيث قتل بجسر أَبى عبيد قال: فقتلوا إلا رجلين حملا على العدو بأسيافهِما فأفرجوا لهما فنجِيا، أو ثلاثة، فأتوا المدينة، فخرج عمر وهم قعود يذكرونهم، فقال عمر: عَمَّ قلتم لهم؟ قالوا: استغفرنا لهم ودعونا لهم، قال: لتُحدثُتّى بما قلتم لهم أو لتلقون منى برجاء، قالوا: إنا قلنا إنهم شهداء، قال: والذى لا إله إلا هو، والذى بعث محمدا بالحق لا تقوم الساعة إلا بإذنه، ما تعلم نفس حية ماذا عند اللَّه لنفسٍ ميتة إلا نبى اللَّه، فإن اللَّه غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر، والذى لا إله غيرهُ والذى بعث محمدا بالحق والهدى لا تقوم الساعةُ إلا بإذنه، إن الرجل يقاتل رياء، ويقاتل حمية، ويقاتل يريد الدنيا، ويقاتل يريد المال، وَما للذين يقاتلون عند اللَّه إلا ما في أنفسهم".

"It was narrated from Abu al-Bakhtari al-Ta'i that some people were in Kufah with Abu al-Mukhtar, meaning the father of al-Mukhtar ibn Abi 'Ubayd, when he was killed at the Bridge of Abu 'Ubayd. He said: 'They were all killed except two men or three who charged the enemy with their swords, and they opened a way for them and they escaped, and they came to Madinah. 'Umar went out while they were sitting and mentioning them. 'Umar said: 'What did you say about them?' They said: 'We asked forgiveness for them and supplicated for them.' He said: 'You must tell me what you said about them, or you will face from me something you do not expect.' They said: 'We said they are martyrs.' He said: 'By Him besides whom there is no god, and by Him who sent Muhammad with the truth, the Hour will not come except by His permission. No soul knows what is in store with Allah for a dead soul except the Prophet of Allah, for Allah forgave him what was past and what was to come of his sins. By Him besides whom there is no other god, and by Him who sent Muhammad with truth and guidance, the Hour will not come except by His permission. A man fights for show, a man fights out of zealous pride, a man fights desiring this world, a man fights desiring wealth, and those who fight have nothing with Allah except what is in their souls.'"
