Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-946b
"عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا سمِعَ عَلِىٌّ الْمُحَكِّمَةَ قَالَ: مَنْ هَؤلاَءِ؟ قيلَ له: الْقُرأَءُ، قَالَ: بَلْ هُمُ الْخَيَّانُونَ الْعَيَّابُون، قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لاَ حُكْمَ إِلَّا للهِ، قَالَ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عُنِىَ بِهَا بَاطِلٌ، فَلَمَّا قَتَلهُمْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ: الْحَمْدُ للهِ الْذِى أَبَادَهُمْ وَأَرَاحَنَا مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: كَلَّا وَالْذى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَمَنْ فِى أَصْلاَب الرِّجَالِ لَمْ تَحْمِلهُ النِّسَاءُ بَعْدُ، وَليَكُونَنَّ آخِرُهُمْ لُصَّاصًا جَرَّادينَ".

“Qatadah said: When Ali heard of the Muhakkimah he said: ‘Who are these?’ It was said to him: ‘The reciters (qurra’).’ He said: ‘Rather, they are the treacherous, the fault-finders.’ He said: ‘They say: There is no judgment except for Allah.’ He said: ‘A word of truth by which falsehood is intended.’ When he killed them, a man said: ‘Praise be to Allah who annihilated them and relieved us of them.’ Ali said: ‘Nay, by the One in whose hand my soul is, among them are those in the loins of men whom the wombs of women have not yet carried, and the last of them will be thieves and plunderers.’”
