ابن ماجہ · Hadith 167
‘Ubaidah narrated from ‘Ali bin Abu Tâlib, that he mentioned the Khawarij and said: “Among them there will be a man with a defective hand, or a short hand, or small hand If you were to exercise restraint (i.e. not become ovetjoyed) I would tell you of what Allah has promised upon the lips of Muhammad p.b.u.h for those who kill them.” I (‘Ubaidah) said: “Did you hear that from Muhammad (P.B.U.H)” He said: “Yes, by the Lord of the Ka’bah’ — three times.” (Sahih)
