The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThere will emerge some people among whom is a man with a defective arm, or an incomplete arm, or a small arm.ʿ If you could exercise restraint, I would have told you what Allah promised on the lips of Muhammad ﷺ to those who kill them. ‘Abeedah said to ʿAli ؓ Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah; yes, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah, yes, by the Lord of the Kaʿbah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 735)

‘Abeedah said: I only narrated what I heard from him. Muhammad said: ‘Abeedah swore to us three times and ‘Ali swore to him, saying: If you could show restraint, I would have told you what Allah has promised on the lips of Muhammad ﷺ to those who kill them. He said: Then I said: Did you hear that from him? He said: Yes, by the Lord of Ka’bah; Yes, by the Lord of Ka’bah; Yes, by the Lord of Ka’bah. Among them was a man with a deformed arm or a defective arm. I think he said: Or an incomplete arm.
