حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّة ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : وَذَكَرَ الْخَوَارِجَ ، فَقَالَ : " فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُودَنُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مَثْدَنُ الْيَدِ ، وَلَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِمَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِي ، وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ .
´'Ubaidah narrated from 'Ali bin Abu Talib,:` That he mentioned the Khawarij, and said: "Among them there will be a man with a defective hand, or a short hand, or small hand. If you were to exercise restraint (i.e., not become overjoyed), I would tell you of what Allah has promised upon the lips of Muhammed for those who kill them." I ('Ubaidah) said: "Did you hear that from Muhammed?" He said: "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!' - three times."

Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described the Khawarij in detail, and the events occurred exactly as he had stated. This is a proof of the Prophethood of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

(2)
In this, there is a virtue for Ali radi Allahu anhu and his companions who fought against the Khawarij.

(3)
It is permissible to swear an oath for the purpose of emphasis.
