[Machine] We witnessed the battle of Siffin with Ali and we entrusted two men to them. When there was negligence among the people, he attacked them and would not return until he dyed his sword with their blood. He said, "Excuse me, by Allah, I did not return until I announce my sword. And I saw Ammar and Hashim bin Uthba running between the two ranks, and Ammar said, 'O Hashim, I swear by Allah, he will betray his command and abandon his soldiers.' Then he said, 'O Hashim, Paradise is under the shades today. Beloved Muhammad and his party, O Hashim, I am blind, and there is no good in being blind. He cannot endure adversity.' Hashim shook the banner and said, 'The blind one seeks a place for his people. He has treated life until he is full. He must either fall or cause others to fall.' He then entered a valley in the midst of the valleys of Siffin. Abu Abdur Rahman said, 'And I saw the companions of Muhammad ﷺ following Ammar as if he had knowledge.'
