Hazrat Habib Abi Thabit narrates that in the Battle of Siffin, the flag of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the hands of Hashim bin Utbah. He was blind in one eye. Hazrat Ammar said, "O one-eyed! Come forward, there is no good in that one-eyed person who does not face fear." He felt shy and came forward. Hazrat Amr bin Aas said, "I am seeing an action in the one with the black flag; if he remains like this, today the Arabs will surely accomplish something." He was saying, "Every water has a watering place, and people come to the water; O servants of Allah! Be patient, Paradise is under the shade of swords."

Muslim bin Ajda’ Laysi reports that Hazrat Ammar came out during the Battle of Siffin and at that time the flags were raised. He proclaimed in a loud voice,“Move towards Paradise, the maidens of Paradise are ready.”

Ammar bin Yasir was saying during the Battle of Siffin that whoever desires to have a wide-eyed houri should walk between the two ranks with the intention of reward. I am seeing such a rank that will strike you in a way about which you are in false doubt. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, even if they utterly destroy us, I will still be certain that I am on the truth and they are on falsehood.

Hazrat Ammar says that even if they kill us with swords until they destroy us completely, I will still be certain that we are on the truth and they are on falsehood.

Hazrat Riyah bin Harith narrates that I was with Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir in the Battle of Siffin, my knees were touching his knees. A man said that the people of Syria have committed disbelief. Hazrat Ammar said, "Do not say this. Their and our Prophet is one, their and our Qibla is one. They are afflicted by tribulation, they have turned away from the truth. It is obligatory upon us to fight them so that they may return to the truth."

Hazrat Riyah narrates that Hazrat Ammar said: Do not say that the people of Syria have disbelieved, rather say that they have committed sin and acted unjustly.

Abu Wa'il says that Abu Maisarah Amr bin Shurahbeel, a close companion of Hazrat Abdullah, saw a dream that I entered Paradise and saw a very beautiful palace with a dome. I asked, "Whose is this?" I was told that it belongs to Dhu’l-Kila’ and Houshab. Both of them were with Hazrat Muawiyah in the Battle of Siffin and were martyred. I asked, "Where are Ammar and his companions?" I was told that they are in front of you. I said, "These people killed each other, so how did they all enter Paradise?" I was told that when they met Allah, they found Him to be Most Merciful. I asked, "What happened to the people of Nahr?" I was told that they faced severity.

Hazrat Hanzala bin Khuwailid Anzi says that I was sitting with Hazrat Muawiya when two men came to him claiming the martyrdom of Hazrat Ammar. One said, "I killed him," and the other said, "I killed him." Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Each of you will have to withdraw in favor of the other, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Ammar will be martyred by a rebellious group." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Muawiya said, "O Amr! What is your opinion about us?" He replied, "I am with you, but I will not fight. My father complained about me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he told me to obey my father and not to disobey him as long as he is alive. Therefore, I am with you, but I will not fight."

Hazrat Saad bin Ibrahim narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was passing among the slain, holding the hand of Hazrat Adi bin Hatim, when they passed by a man. I recognized him and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I testify regarding this man that he is a believer." He (Hazrat Ali) said, "Now what is the ruling concerning him?"
