Volume 4, Book 52, Number 67:
Narrated ‘Ikrima:
that Ibn ‘Abbas told him and ‘Ali bin ‘Abdullah to go to Abu Said and listen to some of his narra –
tions; So they both went (and saw) Abu Said and his brother irrigating a garden belonging to them.
When he saw them, he came up to them and sat down with his legs drawn up and wrapped in his
garment and said, “(During the construction of the mosque of the Prophet) we carried the adobe of
the mosque, one brick at a time while ‘Ammar used to carry two at a time. The Prophet passed by
‘Ammar and removed the dust off his head and said, “May Allah be merciful to ‘Ammar. He will be
killed by a rebellious aggressive group. ‘Ammar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite
him to the (Hell) fire.”
