" عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَلِىٍّ إلَى الخَوَارِجِ فَقَتَلهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اطْلُبُوا، فَإِنَّ نَبِى الله ﷺ قَال: إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ قَوْمٌ يَتَكَلمُونَ بِكَلِمِ الْحَقِّ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، سيمَاهُمْ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا أَسْوَدَ مُخْدّجَ الْيَدِ، في يَدِهِ شَعَرَاتٌ سُودٌ فَانْظُرُوا إِنْ كانَ هُوَ فَقَدْ قَتَلتُمْ سُوءَ النَّاسِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَقَدْ قَتَلتُمْ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ، فَبكَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: اطلُبُوا! فَطَلبنَا فَوَجَدْنَا الْمُخْدَجَ، فَخَرَرْنَا سُجُودًا وَخَرَّ عَلِىٌّ مَعَنَا ".

"From Tariq ibn Ziyad, he said: We went out with 'Ali against the Khawarij, and he fought them. Then he said: 'Search!' For the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will come out a people who speak words of truth, but they do not pass beyond their throats. They leave the truth as an arrow leaves its target. Their sign is that among them is a black man with a withered hand, and on his hand are black hairs. So look: if he is among them, you have killed the worst of people, and if he is not, you have killed the best of people.' We wept, and he said: 'Search!' We searched and found the one with the withered hand, and we fell prostrate, and 'Ali fell prostrate with us."
