It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me when I had already put my foot in the stirrup (for the journey to Iraq). He said to me: Do not go to Iraq, for I fear that the edge of the sword will strike you there (that is, you will be martyred). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had already informed me of this.' Abu al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have never seen, as I did that day, a warrior giving such news (of a fatal end) about himself."
