It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: On the day of the Battle of Yamamah I saw Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) on a rock, calling out from the height: "O company of Muslims! Are you fleeing from Paradise? I am Ammar bin Yasir! Are you fleeing from Paradise? I am Ammar bin Yasir! Come to me!" I was looking at him, and one of his ears had been cut off and was dangling, while he was fighting with the utmost ferocity.

It is narrated from Lu'lu'ah, the slave-girl of Umm al-Hakam, the daughter of Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), that on the day Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the banner was held by Abu Hashim bin Utbah. By the time of Asr that day, many of the companions of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had been killed. Then Sayyiduna Ammar advanced and saw that Abu Hashim was ahead of him. At that time the sun was close to setting, and Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) had with him milk mixed with water (dayh), and he was waiting for the sun to set in order to break his fast. As soon as the sun set, he drank that milk and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Your last provision from this world will be a draught of milk." The narrator said: Then he advanced and fought until he was martyred, and at that time he was ninety-four years old.
