حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَضِيئِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام اطْلُبُوا الْمُخْدَجَ فَذَکَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فَاسْتَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْقَتْلَی فِي طِينٍ قَالَ أَبُو الْوَضِيئِ فَکَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حَبَشِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ قُرَيْطِقٌ لَهُ إِحْدَی يَدَيْنِ مِثْلُ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهَا شُعَيْرَاتٌ مِثْلُ شُعَيْرَاتِ الَّتِي تَکُونُ عَلَی ذَنَبِ الْيَرْبُوعِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4769
Ali said: search for the man with crippled hand. he then mentioned the rest of the tradition. This version has: They took him out from beneath the slain in the dust. Abu al-wadi said: As if I am looking at an ABYSSINIAN WITH A SHIRT ON HIM. HE HAD ONE OF HIS HANDS LIKE THE NIPPLE OF THE FEMALE BREAST, HAVING HAIR ON IT LIKE THE HAIR ON THE TAIL OF THE JERBOA.
