[Machine] We were told by Sayyar, who said: "Bring me heads from Iraq." So they were brought and placed at the entrance of the mosque. Then Abu Umamah came and entered the mosque, performing two units of prayer, then he came out and looked at them. He raised his head and said, "The worst of those killed under the sky are three, and the best of those killed under the sky are those who are killed." He said, "The dogs of Hellfire, three times." Then he wept and turned away from them. Someone said to him, "O Abu Umamah, what do you think of this statement? Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , or is it something you say based on your own opinion?" He said, "Glory be to Allah! If I had heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once or twice, even if he had mentioned it seven times, I would never forget it." The man asked him, "For what reason did you weep?" He replied, "Out of mercy for them or from His mercy."

حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ قَالَجِيءَ بِرُءُوسٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَنُصِبَتْ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَجَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ ثَلَاثًا وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ وَقَالَ كِلَابُ النَّارِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَكَى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ؟ حَيْثُ قُلْتَ كِلَابُ النَّارِ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ شَيْءٌ تَقُولُهُ بِرَأْيِكَ؟ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ لَوْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَين حَتَّى ذَكَرَ سَبْعاً لَخِلْتُ أَنْ لَا أَذْكُرَهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ بَكَيْتَ؟ قَالَ رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ أَوْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِمْ
