40639 - He said: Umar ibn Qais said: A man from Hadramawt told us, called Abu Qais, who said: Qanbar called out: Whoever recognizes something, let him take it. A man passed by a (pot of ours) while we were cooking in it, and he took it. (We said): Leave it until what is in it is cooked. He struck it with his foot, then took it.

It is narrated from Abu Wa'il that Abu Musa and Abu Mas'ud came to Ammar while he was urging people (to help Ali, may Allah be pleased with him). So both of them said to Ammar, "Since you have believed, we have not seen any act more disliked than your hastiness in this matter." Ammar replied, "Since you became Muslims, I have not seen any act more disliked than your negligence in this matter." Then Ammar clothed each of them with a pair (of garments), and then all of them went for prayer.

It is narrated from Abu al-Dhahha that Salman bin Sard requested Hasan to present his excuse to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he could not be present at the Battle of Jamal due to such and such reason. Hasan said: I saw Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the battle was at its peak, that he was taking cover behind me and saying, "O Hasan! I wish I had died twenty years before this incident."

It is narrated from Ishaq bin Suwaid that on the day of the Battle of Jamal, fifty men among us were martyred around a camel; all of them were reciters of the Qur'an.

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.
