Musnad Abi Ya'la 475 — when the Khawarij were killed at al-Nahrawan
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ حَيْثُ أُصِيبَ أَهْلُ النَّهَرَوَانِ ، قَالَ لَنَا عَلِيٌّ : ابْتَغُوا فِيهِمْ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا مُخْدَجَ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُثَدَّنَ الْيَدِ ، قَالَ : فَابْتَغَيْنَاهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ ، فَدَعَوْنَاهُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ مَا قَضَى اللهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَنْ قَتَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضَ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَأَنَّهَا حَسَدَتْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ عَوْفٌ : عَمْدًا أَمْسَكْتُ عَنْهَا .
It is narrated from Abidah al-Salmani (may Allah have mercy on him) that when the Khawarij were killed at al-Nahrawan, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to us: "Search among these slain (for the man in question), for if these are the same group that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, then there will certainly be among them a man one of whose hands is deficient, short, or like a lump of flesh." Abidah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: So we searched for him and found him. Then we called Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came and stood over him and said: 'Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest). "Were it not that I fear you would become proud (merely on account of this merit), I would certainly tell you the reward that Allah Almighty has decreed, on the blessed tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), for those who kill these Khawarij." Abidah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked: "Did you yourself hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!" The narrator said: When this news reached some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it was as though she felt envious of him (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him) for this merit. Imam Awf (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I deliberately did not reveal her name (that of the Mother of the Believers).
