"عَنْ أَبِى بُحَيْنَةَ () قَالَ: قَالَ عَلىٌّ حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ الْحَرُورِيَّةِ: إِنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا مُخْدَجًا لَيْسَ فِى عَضُدِهِ عَظْمٌ فِى عَضُدِهِ حَلَمَةٌ كحلمة الثَّدْىِ عَلَيْهَا شَعَرَاتٌ طُوَالٌ عُقْفٌ ( ) فَالتمَسُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ عَلِيّا جَزعَ قَطٌّ أَشَدَّ مِنْ جَزَعِهِ يَوْمَئِذ، فَقَالُوا: مَا نَجِدُهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ: وَيْلَكُمْ مَا اسْمُ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ؟ قُلنَا: النَّهْرَوَان، قَالَ: كذَبْتُمْ إِنَّهُ لَفيهِمْ فَثَوَّرْنَا الْقَتْلَى فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فَعُدْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا: يَا أمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ: مَا نَجِدُهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا اسْمُ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ؟ قُلنَا النَّهْرَوَان، قَالَ: صَدَقَ الله وَرَسُولُهُ وَكَذَبْتُمْ، إِنَّهُ لَفيهِمْ فَالْتَمِسُوهُ فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِى سَاقَيْةٍ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فَجِئْنَا بِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَضُدِهِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا عَظَمٌ وَعَلَيْهَا حَلَمَةٌ كَحَلَمَةِ ثَدْى الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهَا شَعَرَاتٌ طُوالٌ عُقْفٌ".

Abu Buhayna () said: 'Ali said when we finished with the Harurites: Among them there is a man with a deficient arm, who has no bone in his upper arm, and on his upper arm is a nipple like the nipple of a breast, upon which are long, curled hairs. They searched for him but did not find him. I never saw 'Ali more distressed than his distress that day. They said: We do not find him, O Commander of the Faithful. He said: Woe to you, what is the name of this place? We said: al-Nahrawan. He said: You have lied; he is among them. We turned over the slain but did not find him. We returned to him and said: O Commander of the Faithful, we do not find him. He said: What is the name of this place? We said: al-Nahrawan. He said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken truly, and you have lied; he is among them, so search for him. We searched and found him in a water channel. We brought him, and I looked at his arm, which had no bone in it, and on it was a nipple like the nipple of a woman's breast, upon which were long, curled hairs.
