It is narrated from Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him): "What is the matter with you that you do not go out with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)? Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'A group will emerge from my Ummah who will pass out of the religion just as an arrow passes through the game; Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) will kill them'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times." Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, by Allah, I certainly heard it, but I have preferred seclusion until I find a sword that cuts the disbeliever and rebounds blunt from the believer."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain; Isa bin Shadhan is alone in narrating it."
