Abu Aswad Daili narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me when I had already placed my foot in the stirrup. He asked me: Where are you intending to go? I replied: Iraq. He said: If you go there, you will surely be struck by the edge of the sword. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, before this I had also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this.
