Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm narrates that Sayyiduna Amr bin Hazm (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) has been martyred, whereas the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: 'A rebellious group will kill him.'" Then Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him: "Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) has been killed." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) has been killed; so what of it?" He replied: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'A rebellious group will kill him.'" Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said (rejecting his words): "What a confused thing you are saying! Did we kill him? Rather, it was only Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions who killed him (since they brought him with them into the battle)."
