حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الدَّحْدَاحِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعُذْرِيُّ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ بِدِمَشْقَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خُلَيْدُ بْنُ دَعْلَجٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَالِبٍ قَالَ:
جِيءَ بِرُؤُوسِ الْخَوَارِجِ، فَنُصِبَتْ عَلَى دَرَجِ مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهَا، وَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا، فَجَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ سُنْبُلَانِيُّ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ؟ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا، شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ هَؤُلَاءِ، خَيْرُ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلَهُ هَؤُلَاءِ، هَؤُلَاءِ كِلَابُ النَّارِ، يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا - ثُمَّ بَكَى، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ - قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ: فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ قَوْلًا قَبْلُ، فَأَنْتَ قُلْتَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ، بَلْ سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِرَارًا، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: رَأَيْتُكَ بَكَيْتَ، فَقَالَ: رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ مَرَّةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: أَمَا تَقْرَأُ ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلَى. قَالَ: فَاقْرَأْ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، فَقَرَأْتُ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَ اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -: فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ كَانَ فِي قُلُوبِ هَؤُلَاءِ زَيْغٌ، فَزِيغَ بِهِمُ، اقْرَأْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْمِائَةِ، فَقَرَأْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ: يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَكَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ، أَهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ هُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ

✧ The heads of the Khawarij were brought and set up on the steps of the mosque of Damascus. People began to look at them, and I went out to look at them. Abu Umamah came on a donkey wearing a sunbulani shirt, looked at them, and said: What has Satan done to this community? He said it three times. These are the worst slain under the sky; the best slain under the sky are those whom they killed. These are the dogs of Hell—he said it three times—then he wept and left. Abu Ghalib said: I followed him and said: I heard you say something; did you say it? He said: Glory be to God! I would be bold indeed. Rather I heard it from the Messenger of God ﷺ many times. I said to him: I saw you weep. He said: Out of mercy for them; they were once among the people of Islam. Then he said to me: Do you not recite? I said: Yes. He said: Recite from Al Imran, so I recited. He said: Do you not hear the word of God, Mighty and Majestic: "As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow what is ambiguous of it." There was deviation in the hearts of these, and they were led astray. Recite at the beginning of the hundredth verse, so I recited until I reached: "On the day when faces turn white and faces turn black. As for those whose faces turn black: Did you disbelieve after your belief?" I said: O Abu Umamah, are they these? He said: Yes, they are these.
