Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ عَم
َّارًا يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا آدَمَ طُوَالًا آخِذًا الْحَرْبَةَ بِيَدِهِ وَيَدُهُ تَرْعَدُ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ قَاتَلْتُ بِهَذِهِ الرَّايَةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَهَذِهِ الرَّابِعَةُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ ضَرَبُونَا حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا بِنَا شَعَفَاتِ هَجَرَ لَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ مُصْلِحِينَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الضَّلَالَةِ

English Translation
Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah who said: I heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Salamah say: I saw ʿAmmār on the day of Ṣiffīn — an old, tall, dark-complexioned man — holding a spear in his hand, and his hand was trembling. He said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I have fought with this banner alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times, and this is the fourth. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, even if they were to strike us until they drove us to the mountain passes of Hajar, I would know that our reformers are upon the truth and that they are upon misguidance.'
