حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَضِيءِ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا، حَيْثُ قَتَلَ أَهْلَ النَّهْرَوَانِ، قَالَ: " الْتَمِسُوا لِيَ الْمُخْدَجَ " فَطَلَبُوهُ فِي الْقَتْلَى، فَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ نَجِدُهُ،، ، فَقَالَ: " ارْجِعُوا فَالْتَمِسُوا، فَوَاللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلا كُذِبْتُ " فَرَجَعُوا فَطَلَبُوهُ، فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَحْلِفُ بِاللهِ: " مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلا كُذِبْتُ " فَانْطَلَقُوا فَوَجَدُوهُ تَحْتَ الْقَتْلَى فِي طِينٍ، فَاسْتَخْرَجُوهُ فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْوَضِيءِ: فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَبَشِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ ثَدْيٌ، قَدْ طَبَقَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهَا شَعَرَاتٌ مِثْلُ شَعَرَاتٍ تَكُونُ عَلَى ذَنَبِ الْيَرْبُوعِ (١)،

English translation
It was narrated that Abul-Wadi said:
I saw ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) when he killed the people of an-Nahrawan. He said: Look for the deformed one. They looked for him among the slain and said: We cannot find him. He said: Go back and look again, for by Allah I did not lie and I was not told a lie. So they went back and looked for him. That happened several times, and each time he swore by Allah, saying: I did not lie and I was not told a lie. Then they went out and they found him beneath the slain, lying in the mud. They brought him out, and brought him [to ‘Ali]. Abul-Wadi said: It is as if I can see him: an Abyssinian with one arm ending in something like the breast of a woman, on which there are hairs like the hair on the tail of a jerboa.
