حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ
قَالَ: قَالَ عَبِيدَةُ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ إِلَّا مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَحَلَفَ لَنَا عَبِيدَةُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَنَبَّأْتُكُمْ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَهُمْ عَنْ لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ أَوْ مَثْدُونُ الْيَدِ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ أَوْ مُودَنُ الْيَدِ
‘Abeedah said: I only narrated what I heard from him. Muhammad said: ‘Abeedah swore to us three times and Ali swore to him, saying: If you could show restraint, I would have told you what Allah has promised on the lips of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to those who kill them.
He said: Then I said: Did you hear that from him? He said: Yes, by the Lord of Kabah; Yes, by the Lord of Kabah; Yes, by the Lord of Kabah. Among them was a man with a deformed arm or a defective arm. I think he said: Or an incomplete arm.’’
