حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مَسْلَمَةُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ الْخَوَارِجِ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَالُوا أَنْتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُحَدِّثُنا عَنْ أَبِيكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمَاشِيِ وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ السَّاعِيِ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَكُنْ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْمَقْتُولَ» فَقَالُوا لَهُ فَكُنْ أَنْتَ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْمَقْتُولَ قَالَ فَقَدَّمُوهُ إِلَى ضَفَّةِ النَّهَرِ فَضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَجَرَى دَمُهُ كَأَنَّهُ شِرَاكُ نَعْلٍ مَا ابْذَقَرَّ ثُمَّ قَرَّبُوا أُمَّ وَلَدِهِ فَبَقَرُوها عَمَّا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فَارَقْتُهُمْ

✧ I was with the Kharijites when we came upon a man. They said, “Are you ʿAbd Allah b. Khabbab, the companion of the Messenger of God ﷺ?” He said, “Yes.” They said, “Will you narrate to us from your father, from the Messenger of God ﷺ?” He said, “Yes. I heard my father narrate from the Messenger of God ﷺ: ‘There will be a trial in which the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing is better than the one walking, and the one walking is better than the one running. When that occurs, be the servant of God who is killed.’” They said to him, “Then be the servant of God who is killed.” He said, “They brought him to the bank of the canal and struck his neck, and his blood flowed as if it were a sandal strap, not dispersing. Then they brought the mother of his child and ripped open what was in her belly. When I saw that, I left them.”
