"عن نُبَيطِ بنِ شُرَيط قال: لَمَّا فَرغَ عَلِىٌّ مِنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ النَّهْرِ قَالَ: اقْلِبُوا الْقَتْلَى فَقَلَبْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَجَ فِى آخِرِهِم رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ عَلَى كتِفِهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ الثَّدْىِ، فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ واللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِّبْتُ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ قَسَّمَ فَيْئًا، فَجَاءَ هَذَا فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! اعْدِلْ فَوَاللهِ مَا عَدَلْتَ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ فَقالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ عَلَيْكَ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! أَلَا أَقْتُلُهُ فَقالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ لَا، دَعْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُ، فَقالَ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ".

"From Nubayt ibn Sharit, who said: When 'Ali finished fighting the people of the river (al-Nahr), he said: Turn over the slain. So we turned them over until there came out among the last of them a black man with something on his shoulder like the nipple of a breast. 'Ali said: Allahu Akbar! By Allah, I have not lied and I have not been lied about. I was with the Prophet ﷺ when he was dividing booty, and this man came and said: O Muhammad! Be just. By Allah, you have not been just since today. The Prophet ﷺ said: May your mother be bereaved of you, and who will be just if I am not just? 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not kill him? The Prophet ﷺ said: No, leave him, for he has someone who will kill him. 'Ali said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth."
