2812. Narrated 'Ikrima that Ibn 'Abbās told him and 'Alī bin 'Abdullāh to go to Abū Sa'īd and listen to some of his narrations. So they both went (and saw) Abū Sa'īd and his brother irrigating a garden belonging to them. When he saw them, he came up to them and sat down with his legs drawn up and wrapped in his garment and said, "During the construction of the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ we carried the adobe of the mosque, one brick at a time while 'Ammār used to carry two at a time. The Prophet ﷺ passed by 'Ammār and removed the dust off his head and said, 'May Allāh be Merciful to 'Ammār. An aggressive group will kill him. 'Ammār will be inviting them (his murderers) to (obey) Allāh and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire.'" (See H. 447)

2812 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَهُ وَلِعَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ائْتِيَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ فَاسْمَعَا مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ وَهُوَ وَأَخُوهُ فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُمَا يَسْقِيَانِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَآنَا جَاءَ، فَاحْتَبَى وَجَلَسَ، فَقَالَ: كُنَّا نَنْقُلُ لَبِنَ المَسْجِدِ لَبِنَةً لَبِنَةً، وَكَانَ عَمَّارٌ يَنْقُلُ لَبِنَتَيْنِ لَبِنَتَيْنِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَسَحَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ الغُبَارَ، وَقَالَ: «وَيْحَ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الفِئَةُ البَاغِيَةُ، عَمَّارٌ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ، وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ»
