حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ثنا ابْنُ شَوْذَبٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْفَرَائِضِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَوْذَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ قَالَ
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ فَإِذَا رُءُوسٌ مِنْ رُءُوسِ الْخَوَارِجِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا بَكَى فَقَالَ «مَاذَا صَنَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ ثَلَاثًا كِلَابُ النَّارِ» ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ ثَلَاثًا مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ كَانَ خَيْرَ قَتِيلٍ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ» قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ أَنْتَ تَقُولُهُ أَوْ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ هَلْ تَقْرَأُ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي أَوَّلِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ» {فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ} فِي هَؤُلَاءِ أُنْزِلَتْ حَتَّى تَقْرَأَ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ {يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ} فِي هَؤُلَاءِ أُنْزِلَتْ قُلْتُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ» أَوْ قَالَ مُسْلِمِينَ

✧ I went out with Abu Umamah al-Bahili to the mosque of Damascus. When he was at the gate, there were heads—some of the heads of the Khawarij. When he looked at them, he wept and said: "What has Satan done?" three times. "Dogs of the Fire," three times. Then he said: "The worst of those killed under the shade of the sky," three times. "Whoever they killed was the best of those killed under the shade of the sky." I said: O Abu Umamah, do you say this yourself, or is it something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: "Then I would indeed be bold. Do you not recite the verses at the beginning of Al 'Imran? {As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow what is unspecific from it.} It was revealed concerning these people, until you recite the verse in the middle of Al 'Imran: {On the Day when some faces will turn white and some faces will turn black.} It was revealed concerning these people." I said: What makes you weep, O Abu Umamah? He said: "They were believers," or he said, "Muslims."
