حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَی الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ذَکَرَ أَهْلَ النَّهْرَوَانِ فَقَالَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مُودَنُ الْيَدِ أَوْ مُخْدَجُ الْيَدِ أَوْ مَثْدُونُ الْيَدِ لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرُوا لَنَبَّأْتُکُمْ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَهُمْ عَلَی لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ الْکَعْبَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4763
Ubaidah (al-salman) said: Ali mentioned about the people of al Nahrawan, saying: Among them there will be a man with a defective hand or with a small hand. if you were not to overjoy. I would inform you of what Allah has promised (the reward for) those who will kill them at the tongue of Muhammad ﷺ. I asked: Have you heard this from him? He replied: Yes, by the lord of the Kaabah.
