Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 481 — when the Khawarij were mentioned, he said
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرَ الْخَوَارِجَ ، فَقَالَ : فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُودَنُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُثَدَّنُ الْيَدِ ، لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِمَا وَعَدَ اللهُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Khawarij were mentioned, he said: "Among them will be a man whose hand is deficient (congenitally short)", or he said, "short, or like a lump of flesh. Were it not that I fear you would become proud (abandoning deeds and relying on this glad tiding alone), I would certainly tell you of the rewards that Allah Almighty has promised, on the blessed tongue of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), to those who will kill them (the Khawarij)." Abidah (may Allah have mercy on him) related: I asked: "Did you hear this yourself from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said (three times): "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!"
