Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40598 — The journey of Aishah, Ali, Talhah

It is reported from Tamim bin Dhuhl al-Dabbi: On the day of the Battle of the Camel I was holding the stirrup of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and was engaged in fighting alongside him. I saw myself as being in Paradise, and he was looking closely at the slain. He passed by a slain man whose appearance impressed him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Who knows this man?" I said: "This is so-and-so al-Dabbi, and this is his son," until I had counted seven lying slain, face down, around him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I would love that there were no Dabbi on earth except beneath the side of this old man."
