حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : رَأَيْتُ
عَمَّارًا يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا ، آدَمَ طُوَالًَا ، آخِذًا الْحَرْبَةَ بِيَدِهِ ، وَيَدُهُ تَرْعَدُ ، فَقَالَ :
" وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَقَدْ قَاتَلْتُ بِهَذِهِ الرَّايَةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَهَذِهِ الرَّابِعَةُ ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَوْ ضَرَبُونَا حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا بِنَا سَعَفَاتِ هَجَرَ ، لَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ مُصْلِحِينَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ ، وَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الضَّلَاَلَةِ " .
Abd bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I saw Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) at the time of the Battle of Siffin. He was an extremely old, elderly, wheat-colored, and tall man. He was holding a spear in his hand and his hands were trembling. He said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I have fought three times carrying this flag in the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and this is the fourth time. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, even if these people, while killing us, reach the peaks of Hajar, I will still believe that our reformers are on the truth and they are in error."
