that Ibn ʿAbbas told him and ʿAli bin ʿAbdullah to go to Abu Saʿid and listen to some of his narrations; So they both went (and saw) Abu Saʿid 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 ʿAmmar used to carry two at a time. The Prophet ﷺ passed by ʿAmmar and removed the dust off his head and said, "May Allah be merciful to ʿAmmar. He will be killed by a rebellious aggressive group. ʿAmmar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire."  

كُنَّا نَنْقُلُ لَبِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ لَبِنَةً لَبِنَةً وَكَانَ عَمَّارٌ يَنْقُلُ لَبِنَتَيْنِ لَبِنَتَيْنِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَسَحَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ الْغُبَارَ وَقَالَ وَيْحَ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ عَمَّارٌ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ  

[Machine] He and his son Ali went to Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri to listen to his narration. He saw us and took his cloak and came to us and sat down and started narrating to us until he reached the mention of the construction of the mosque. He said, "We were carrying one brick at a time, while 'Amr bin Yasir was carrying two bricks at a time." The Messenger of Allah saw him and started sweeping the dust off himself and said, "O 'Amr, why don't you carry one brick at a time like your companions?" He said, "I seek reward from Allah." He then swept off the dust and said, "Woe to 'Amr! A rebellious group will kill him, and they will invite him to Paradise while he will invite them to Hell." 'Amr said, "I seek refuge with the Most Merciful from trials."  

لَهُ وَلِابْنِهِ عَلِيٍّ انْطَلِقَا إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَاسْمَعَا مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي حَائِطٍلَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآنَا أَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَجَاءَنَا فَقَعَدَ فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى ذِكْرِ بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَحْمِلُ لَبِنَةً لَبِنَةً وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسرٍ يَحْمِلُ لَبِنَتَيْنِ لَبِنَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ يَا عَمَّارُ أَلَا تَحْمِلُ لَبِنَةً كَمَا يَحْمِلُ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْأَجْرَ مِنَ اللهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ وَيْحَ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ عَمَّارٌ يَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَنِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ  

[Machine] "Rana came and took off his cloak, then sat down and started narrating to us until he mentioned the construction of the mosque. He said, 'We were carrying one brick each, while the builders carried two bricks each.' The Prophet ﷺ saw him and started shaking the dust off his head, saying, 'O Ammar, why don't you carry what your companions are carrying?' Ammar replied, 'I seek the reward from Allah.' The Prophet then shook the dust off him and said, 'Woe to Ammar! A rebellious group will kill him, inviting him to Paradise while he invites them to Hell.' Ammar said, 'I seek refuge with Allah from trials and tribulations.'"  

رَآنَا جَاءَ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى ذِكْرِ بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَحْمِلُ لَبِنَةً وَعَمَّارٌ لَبِنَتَيْنِ لَبِنَتَيْنِ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَيَقُولُ «يَا عَمَّارُ أَلَا تَحْمِلُ مَا يَحْمِلُ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ » قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْأَجْرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ «وَيْحُ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ» فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ
