Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 19115 — I was in Wasit al-Qasab with Abd al-A'la

Kulthum (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was in Wasit al-Qasab with Abd al-A'la bin Abdullah bin Amir when the doorkeeper said: This is Abu Ghadiyah al-Juhani. Abd al-A'la said: Bring him in. So he entered, wearing short (cut) garments; he was a tall, lean man, as if he were not from this Ummah. When he sat down, he said: I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked: With your right hand? He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us on the day of al-Aqabah and said: "O people! Listen, your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, just as this day of yours is sacred, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Listen, have I conveyed?" The people said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, bear witness." Then he said: "Do not become disbelievers after me, striking one another's necks." He said: We used to count Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) among the best of us. He said: When it was the day of Siffin, he came walking on foot at the front of the army, until, when he was between the two ranks, he struck a man in his knee with a spear; he fell and his helmet came off, so I struck him, and behold, it was the head of Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). (The narrator) said: A freed slave of ours began saying: "Which hand found it sufficient for him?" He said: I have not seen a man in more manifest misguidance than him, that he heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what he heard and then killed Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him).
