In one narration it is reported from him that he said: Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the best of us. After this the narrator mentioned the narration as before, and added this: A freed slave of ours said: "Which hand could suffice for him?" I have not seen anyone who, in my view, was more clearly astray than him: he had heard this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and yet he killed Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him).
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in the same way, as a complete narration, in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir with two chains, the narrators of one of which are the narrators of the Sahih.
