"On the authority of Abu Ja'far al-Farra, a client of Ali, who said: I witnessed with Ali (...) the Nahrawan. When he had finished killing them, he said: Search for the mukhdaj. They searched but did not find him, so he ordered that a reed be placed on every slain man. They found him in a depression (in a pool of water), black, foul-smelling, at the place of his hand like a breast with hairs on it. When he looked at him he said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Then he heard one of his two sons, either al-Hasan or al-Husayn, say: Praise be to Allah who has relieved the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ of this band. Ali said: If there remained of the Ummah of Muhammad only three, one of them would hold the opinion of these. Indeed they are in the loins of men and the wombs of women."
