Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was distributing (the spoils of Hunayn). The narrator says: He then narrated the whole hadith, and further on he reported these words: "Their distinctive sign will be a man one of whose hands will be like a woman's breast. It will be a lump of flesh with some hairs on it, like the whiskers of a beast of prey." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day at Hunayn, and then I was also present with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) killed those people at Nahrawan. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) searched for that man but did not find him. After that he found him beneath a wall, and his appearance was exactly like that. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Which of you knows him?" One of those present said: "We know him. This is Harqus, and his mother is here." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for his mother and asked: "Who is this?" She said: "I do not know, O Commander of the Believers. Once, in the time of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), I was grazing goats (this was at al-Rabadhah), and something like darkness came over me. I became pregnant with this child, and then I gave birth to him."
Abu Ya'la recorded it as a lengthy narration. Its chain contains the narrator Abu Ma'shar Najih, who is da'if (weak), though his hadith may be written down.
