I said to 'Ammar: What is your opinion about that which you have done in case (of your siding with Hadrat 'Ali)? Is it your personal opinion or something you got from Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ)? 'Ammar said: We have got nothing from Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ) which people at large did not get, but Hudhaifa told me that Allah's Apostle ( ﷺ) had especially told him amongst his Companion, that there would be twelve hypocrites out of whom eight would not get into Paradise, until a camel would be able to pass through the needle hole. The ulcer would be itself sufficient (to kill) eight. So far as four are concerned, I do not remember what Shu'ba said about them.  

قُلْتُ لِعَمَّارٍ أَرَأَيْتُمْ صَنِيعَكُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ فِي أَمْرِ عَلِيٍّ أَرَأْيًا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ أَوْ شَيْئًا عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَعْهَدْهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً وَلَكِنْ حُذَيْفَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي أَصْحَابِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ مُنَافِقًا فِيهِمْ ثَمَانِيَةٌ لاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ثَمَانِيَةٌ مِنْهُمْ تَكْفِيكَهُمُ الدُّبَيْلَةُ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ لَمْ أَحْفَظْ مَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فِيهِمْ  

[Machine] I said to 'Ammar, "Have you seen your fight, as you saw it?" He said, "Hajjaj, have you seen this matter, meaning their fight, as you saw it?" For indeed, vision can be fallible or accurate, or it may be a covenant that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted to you. So he (Ammar) said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not entrust us with anything that he did not entrust to all people." And he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, in my nation,' and Shu'bah said, 'I believe he said it,' Huthayfah narrated to me that 'Indeed, in my nation there are twelve hypocrites who will not enter Paradise and will not even find its scent until a camel enters a needle's eye. Eight of them will suffice you with the Dubailah, a flame of fire that appears on their shoulders until it emerges in their chests."  

قُلْتُ لِعَمَّارٍ أَرَأَيْتَ قِتَالَكُمْ رَأْيًا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ يَعْنِي قِتَالَهُمْ رَأْيًا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ؟ فَإِنَّ الرَّأْيَ يُخْطِئُ وَيُصِيبُ أَوْ عَهْدًا عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ مَا عَهِدَإِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَعْهَدْهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ فِي أُمَّتِي قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُذَيْفَةُ إِنَّ فِي أُمَّتِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مُنَافِقًا فَقَالَ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ رِيحَهَا حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ثَمَانِيَةٌ مِنْهُمْ تَكْفِيكَهُمُ الدُّبَيْلَةُ سِرَاجٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يَظْهَرُ فِي أَكْتَافِهِمْ حَتَّى يَنْجُمَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ
