Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 555 — we were with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib when
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَضِيءِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ قُتِلَ أَهْلُ النَّهَرَوَانِ ، قَالَ : الْتَمِسُوا لِي الْمُخْدَجَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ الْقَوْمُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعُوا فَالْتَمِسُوهُ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعُوا فَالْتَمِسُوهُ ، فَوَاللهِ مَا كُذِبْتُ وَلَا كَذَبْتُ ، قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقُوا فَاسْتَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْقَتْلَى فِي طِينٍ ، فَجَاؤُوا بِهِ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَبَشِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ قُرْطَقٌ ، إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ حَلَمَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ ، عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ مِثْلُ شَعَرَاتٍ تَكُونُ عَلَى ذَنَبِ الْيَرْبُوعِ .
It is narrated from Abu al-Wadi' (may Allah have mercy on him) that we were with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) when the people of Nahrawan (the Kharijites) were killed. He (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered: "Search for the deformed one (al-mukhdaj) for me." So the people went, but they did not find him. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said again: "Go back and search for him." They went, but still did not find him. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said (emphatically): "Go back and find him; by Allah, I have neither lied nor been told a lie." The narrator says: They went again and pulled him out from beneath the slain, in mud. When they brought him, (his condition was such that) it is as though I am still looking at him: he was of Abyssinian origin, wearing a short tunic (qurtuq), and one of his hands was like the nipple of a woman's breast, with a few hairs on it like the hairs on the tail of a jerboa (desert rat).
