وَعَنْهُ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ غَاصٌّ بِالنَّاسِ وَإِذَا رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ تَخْفِقُ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ الْيَوْمَ قَالُوا هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَجْهًا
(Second narration) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) himself, he says: I entered the mosque, it was packed with people and a black flag was waving. I asked: What has happened to the people today? They said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) wants to send Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) for jihad somewhere.
