[Machine] Abdullah heard a man saying, "Where are the ascetics in this worldly life and those who aspire for the Hereafter?" So Abdullah said, "Those are the companions of Al-Jabiyyah and they stipulated that five hundred Muslims should not return until they are killed." So they shaved their heads and confronted the enemy and were killed except for one who reported about them.
سَمِعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ أَيْنَ الزَّاهِدُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالرَّاغِبُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَابِيَةِ وَاشْتَرَطَ خَمْسُ مِائَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ لَا يَرْجِعُوا حَتَّى يُقْتَلُوا» فَحَلَقُوا رُءوسَهُمْ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَقُتِلُوا إِلَّا مُخْبِرٌ عَنْهُمْ
