حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فَضَاءٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْمَازِنِيُّ قَالَا ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حِسَابٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ثنا أَبُو غَالِبٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ بِالشَّامِ فَبَعَثَ الْمُهَلَّبُ سَبْعِينَ رَأْسًا مِنَ الْخَوَارِجِ فَنُصِبُوا عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَكُنْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لِي فَمَرَّ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ يُرِيدُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ دَمِعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا يَفْعَلُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَنِي آدَمَ» ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «كِلَابُ جَهَنَّمَ شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «خَيْرُ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ» ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا غَالِبٍ إِنَّكَ بِأَرْضِ هَؤُلَاءِ بِهَا كَثِيرٌ فَأَعَاذَكَ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ هَلْ تَقْرَأُ السُّورَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا آلُ عِمْرَانَ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ دَمِعَتْ عَيْنَاكَ قَالَ «بَكَيْتُ رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ» فَتَلَا {هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ} إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ {ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ} وَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كَانَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَزِيغَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا} إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ {أَكَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ} قُلْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْيِكَ تَقُولُ أَمْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَجَرِيءٌ ثَلَاثًا بَلْ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا مَرَّةً وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سِتَّةً»

✧ I was in Syria when al-Muhallab sent seventy heads of the Khawarij, and they were set up at the gate of the mosque. I was on the roof of my house when Abu Umamah passed by, heading to the mosque. When he stopped at them, his eyes welled up and he said: “Glory be to God! What Satan does to the children of Adam,” three times. He said: “Dogs of Jahannam! The worst of those slain under the shade of the sky,” three times. Then he said: “The best of those slain under the shade of the sky are those whom they killed,” three times. Then he turned to me and said: “O Abu Ghalib, you are in a land where these are many, so may God protect you from them. Do you recite the surah that contains Āl ʿImrān?” I said: “Yes, and I saw your eyes well up.” He said: “I wept out of mercy for them; they were from the people of Islam.” Then he recited: {It is He who sent down upon you the Book, in which are verses that are precise} until he reached {seeking discord and seeking its interpretation}. “Indeed, these had deviation in their hearts, so they were led astray.” Then he recited: {And do not be like those who became divided} until he reached {Have you disbelieved after your faith?}. I said: “These, O Abu Umamah?” He said: “Yes.” I said: “O Abu Umamah, do you say this by your own opinion, or is it something you heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ?” He said: “I would be very bold, very bold, very bold. Rather, it is something I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ not once nor twice,” until he reached six.
