(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي
حَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الشَّاعِرُ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، أَنَّ
أَبَا الْوَضِيءِ عَبَّادًا حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنَّا عَامِدِينَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغْنَا مَسِيرَةَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ مِنْ حَرُورَاءَ شَذَّ مِنَّا نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ
لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا يَهُولَنَّكُمْ أَمْرُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَرْجِعُونَ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ ، قَالَ : فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ خَلِيلِي أَخْبَرَنِي : " أَنَّ قَائِدَ هَؤُلَاءِ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ ، عَلَى حَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِهِ شَعَرَاتٌ كَأَنَّهُنَّ ذَنَبُ الْيَرْبُوعِ " ، فَالْتَمَسُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ ، فَقُلْنَا : إِنَّا لَمْ نَجِدْهُ ، فَقَالَ : الْتَمِسُوهُ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ ، ثَلَاثًا ، فَقُلْنَا لَمْ نَجِدْهُ ، فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ بِنَفْسِهِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : اقْلِبُوا ذَا اقْلِبُوا ذَا ، حَتَّى جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ ذَا ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا يَأْتِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يُخْبِرُكُمْ مَنْ أَبُوهُ ؟ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ : هَذَا مَالِكٌ ، هَذَا مَالِكٌ ، يَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : ابْنُ مَنْ هُوَ ؟ .
Abu al-Wadi says: We set out with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with the intention of going to Kufa. When we were at a distance of two or three nights from a place called Harura, many people separated from us and left. We mentioned this to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Do not worry, soon these people will return. After that, the narrator mentioned the complete hadith and at the end said: Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) thanked Allah and said: My beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that the leader of these people will be a man whose hand will be incomplete, and on his hand there will be a lump like a woman's breast, on which there will be hairs like the tail of a wild mouse. Search for his body among the slain. The people began to search for him but could not find him. We came and submitted that we are not able to find his body. This happened three times. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) himself stood up to search for him and began to say: Turn him over, turn him over. Meanwhile, a man from Kufa came and said: Here he is. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him and proclaimed Allahu Akbar and said: Does any of you know who his father is? The people began to say: His name is Malik, his name is Malik. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Whose son is he? (But no answer could be given.)
