حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، نَا عِصْمَةُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، نَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ بِالشَّامِ وَبِهَا أَبُو أُمَامَةَ صُدَيُّ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَ لِي صَدِيقًا، فَجِيءَ بِرُءُوسٍ مِنْ رُءُوسِ الْحَرُورِيَّةِ، فَأُلْقِيَتْ بِالدَّرْجِ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الرُّءُوسِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَأَتْبَعَنَّهُ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ مَا يَقُولُ، فَتَبِعْتُهُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا فَبَكَى، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، مَا يَصْنَعُ إِبْلِيسُ بِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ؟ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: كِلَابُ النَّارِ، كِلَابُ النَّارِ، كِلَابُ النَّارِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " شَرُّ قَتْلَى قُتِلُوا تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ، وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى قَتَلُوهُمْ "، ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَكَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَرَآنِي - فَقَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ: وَأَخَذَ بِسَاعِدِي - فَقَالَ: " أَنْتَ بِبِلَادٍ هَؤُلَاءِ بِهِ كَثِيرٌ ؟ " - يَعْنِي: الْعِرَاقَ - قُلْتُ: أَجَلْ، قَالَ: " أَعَاذَكَ اللهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ "، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ، أَرَأَيْتَ قَوْلَكَ: كِلَابُ النَّارِ، قُلْتَهُ بِرَأْيِكَ أَوْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: " سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ، لَا بَلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، لَا مَرَّةً، وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَلَا ثَلَاثًا، وَلَا أَرْبَعًا، وَلَا خَمْسًا، وَلَا سِتًّا، وَلَا سَبْعًا ".

✧ I was in Syria, and Abu Umamah Sudayy b. 'Ajlan, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ, was there, and he was a friend of mine. Some heads of the Haruriyyah were brought and thrown on the steps. Abu Umamah came, entered the mosque, prayed two rak'ahs, then turned toward the heads. I said: 'I will follow him until I hear what he says.' I followed him until he stood over them and wept. Then he said: 'Glory be to Allah! What is Iblis doing to this ummah?' Then he said: 'Dogs of the Fire, dogs of the Fire, dogs of the Fire.' Then he said: 'The worst of those killed who were killed under the shade of the sky, and the best of those killed are those who killed them.' Then he recited this verse: 'On the Day when some faces will be white and some faces black; as for those whose faces turn black, "Did you disbelieve after your belief?"' (Q 3:106). Then he turned to me and saw me. Abu Ghalib said: 'He took me by my forearm' and said: 'You are in a land where these are many?'—meaning Iraq. I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'May Allah protect you from being one of them.' I said: 'O Abu Umamah, do you think your saying "dogs of the Fire" was your own opinion, or something you heard?' He said: 'Glory be to Allah! I would then be bold. No, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, not once, not twice, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven.'
