Hadith 37:585
Aswad ibn Amir narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Bishr ibn Shughaf, he said: Abdullah ibn Salam asked me about the Khawarij. I said: "They are the people who pray the longest and fast the most, except that when they cross the bridge, they shed blood and seize wealth." He said: "Do not ask about them except for this. Indeed, I had said to them: 'Do not kill Uthman; leave him. For by Allah, if you were to leave him for eleven [days/years], he would surely die in his bed a natural death.' But they did not do so." And he said: "No prophet was ever killed but that seventy thousand people were killed because of him, and no caliph was ever killed but that thirty-five thousand people were killed because of him."
حدثنا أسود بن عامر قال حدثنا حماد بن سلمة عن علي بن زيد عن بشر بن شغاف ( ( ( شغا ) ) ) قال سألني عبد الله بن سلام عن الخوارج فقلت لهم أطول الناس صلاة وأكثرهم صوما غير أنهم إذا خلفوا الجسر اهراقوا ( ( ( أهرقوا ) ) ) الدماء وأخذوا الأموال قال لا تسأل عنهم إلا ذا أما إني قد قلت لهم لا تقتلوا عثمان دعوه فوالله لئن تركتموه إحدى عشرة ليموتن على فراشه موتا فلم يفعلوا وإنه لم يقتل نبي إلا قتل به سبعون ألفا من الناس ولم يقتل خليفة إلا قتل به خمسة وثلاثون ألفا
