[Machine] Khalid ibn Al-Walid sent me with the messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and we encountered a group of people who professed their oneness in faith. 'Ammar said, "These people have captured us because of their belief in oneness." I did not pay attention to 'Ammar's words, but I said to myself, "Shall I not inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" When we arrived before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I complained to him. When the Prophet ﷺ saw that he was not seeking retribution from me, he turned away and his eyes were filled with tears. The Prophet ﷺ then said to me, "O Khalid, do not curse 'Ammar. Whoever curses 'Ammar, Allah will curse him, and whoever hates 'Ammar, Allah will hate him, and whoever regards 'Ammar as foolish, Allah will regard him as foolish." Khalid then said, "O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me, by Allah, nothing prevented me from loving him except my ridicule of him." Khalid said, "There is nothing more fearful in my sins in my eyes than my ridicule of 'Ammar."
خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَصَبْنَا أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ كَانُوا وَحَّدُوا فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ قَدِ احْتَجَزَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَّا بِتَوْحِيدِهِمْ فَلَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى قَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ فَقَالَ أَمَا لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَكَانِي إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَقْتَصُّ مِنِّي أَدْبَرَ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ فَرَدَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا خَالِدُ لَا تَسُبَّ عَمَّارًا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ سَبَّ عَمَّارًا سَبَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يُبْغِضُ عَمَّارًا أَبْغَضَهُ وَمَنْ سَفَّهَ عَمَّارًا سَفَّهَهُ اللهُ» فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أُحِبَّهُ إِلَّا تَسْفِيهي إِيَّاهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَمَا مِنْ ذُنُوبِي شَيْءٌ أَخْوَفَ عِنْدِي مِنْ تَسْفِيهي عَمَّارًا
