[Machine] I met Ammar on the Day of the Battle of the Camel while he was urinating in a corner. I said to him, "Shall I fight with you and be on your side?" He replied, "Fight under the banner of your own people, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prefer that a man fight under the banner of his own people."  

أحمد:١٨٣١٦ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ جَدِّ أَبِيهِ الْمُخَارِقِ قَالَ

لَقِيتُ عَمَّارًا يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ وَهُوَ يَبُولُ فِي قَرْنٍ فَقُلْتُ أُقَاتِلُمَعَكَ فَأَكُونُ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ قَاتِلْ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ قَوْمِكَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ قَوْمِهِ

[Machine] "I used to accompany Ammar on the day of the Battle of Camel, and he had a spear with a saddle on it, in which he would urinate when he needed to. When the battle approached, he said, 'O Muhariq! Get the banner of your people.' I replied, 'I am not capable of that, as I am in this condition today.' He then said, 'Rather, O Muhariq! Get the banner of your people, for I have seen the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, 'It is preferable for a man to fight under the banner of his people.'"  

الحاكم:٢٥٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدَانَ ثنا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُخَارِقِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أُسَايِرُ عَمَّارًا يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ وَمَعَهُ قَرْنٌ مُسْتَمَطَّةٌ بِسَرْجِهِ يَبُولُ فِيهِ إِذَا بَالَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الْقِتَالُ قَالَ يَا مُخَارِقُ إِيتِ رَايَةَ قَوْمِكَ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنَا بِغَازٍ وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ قَالَ بَلْ يَا مُخَارِقُ إِيتِ رَايَةَ قَوْمِكَ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ الرَّجُلُ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ قَوْمِهِ»
