Hadith 1224

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِأَهْلِ النَّهْرَوَانِ : " فِيْهُمْ رَجُلٌ مَثْدُونُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُودَنُ الْيَدِ ، أَوْ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ ، لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَأَنْبَأْتُكُمْ مَا قَضَى اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ ، قَالَ عَبِيدَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، يَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهَا ثَلَاثًا " .
Once, the mention of the Khawarij was made in the presence of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Among them there will be a man who is deformed in creation. If you had not gone to extremes, I would have told you the promise that Allah has made, through the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to those who kill them. The narrator says: I asked him, "Did you really hear any statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this?" He replied three times, "Yes! By the Lord of the Ka'bah."
