Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm narrates from his father that when Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, Amr bin Hazm went to Amr bin al-As and said: Ammar has been killed, and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A rebellious group will kill him." On hearing this, Amr bin al-As got up in alarm and went until he reached Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Mu'awiyah asked: What is the matter with you? He said: Ammar bin Yasir has been killed. Mu'awiyah said: Ammar has been killed, so what? Amr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A rebellious group will kill him." At this Mu'awiyah said to him: Did we kill him? Rather, Ali and his companions killed him, who brought him (onto the battlefield) until they threw him among our spears (or he said: our swords). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami that he said: We were present at Siffin. Whenever we had a truce (ceasefire), these people could go into the camp of those, and those into the camp of these. I saw four men going along: Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan, Abu al-A'war al-Sulami, Amr bin al-As and his son. I heard Abdullah bin Amr saying to his father Amr: We have killed this man, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him what he said (as a prophecy). He asked: Which man? He said: Ammar bin Yasir. Do you not remember the day when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was building the mosque? We were carrying one brick at a time, while Ammar was carrying two bricks at a time. When he passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are carrying two bricks at a time while you are exhausted and drenched in sweat. Listen! A rebellious group will kill you, and you are of the people of Paradise." Then Amr went to Mu'awiyah and said: We have killed this man about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said what he said! Mu'awiyah said: Be quiet! By Allah, you are always entangled in your own words. Did we kill him? Rather, Ali and his companions killed him, who brought him among us.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that two men came to Amr bin al-As quarrelling over the blood of Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) and his belongings. Amr said: Leave it, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "O Allah, Quraysh have become set against Ammar. The killer of Ammar and the one who strips him of his belongings are in the Fire." Abd al-Rahman bin al-Mubarak, who is trustworthy (thiqah) and reliable, is alone in narrating this from Mu'tamir from his father. So if it is preserved (mahfuz), it is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim); and people generally narrated it from Mu'tamir, from Layth, from Mujahid.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to enter while I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give him permission." Then when he entered, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Welcome, O pure one who has been purified!" The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Harithah bin Mudarrib that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to us: "I am sending to you Ammar bin Yasir as governor, and Abdullah bin Mas'ud as teacher and minister. These two are among the distinguished Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and among the people of Badr, so listen to them. I have appointed Ibn Mas'ud over your treasury (Bayt al-Mal), so listen to them, learn from them and follow them. And indeed I have preferred you over myself in the matter of Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) (by sending him to you instead of keeping him with me)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever two matters were presented to the son of Sumayyah (Ammar), he always chose the more rightly guided of the two." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) if Salim bin Abi al-Ja'd's hearing from Abdullah bin Mas'ud is established, and they did not record it; and it also has a corroborating narration (mutabi') from the hadith of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever Ammar was given a choice between two matters, he chose the more rightly guided of them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Ammar and his family while they were being tortured (in Makkah), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rejoice, O family of Ammar (or he said: O family of Yasir), for your promised meeting place is Paradise." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There was something (unpleasant) between me and Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him), so I complained about him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever reviles Ammar, Allah reviles him; and whoever shows enmity to Ammar, Allah shows enmity to him." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Siffin on which he was martyred, he was calling out: "Paradise has been brought near, and the wide-eyed houris have been given in marriage. Today we shall meet our beloved Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) made a covenant with me that your last provision from this world will be a draught of milk." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
