Al-Bahiyy narrated from Ibn ʿUmar, who said:
“I do not know of anyone who took part in the fitnah (civil strife) seeking Allah’s pleasure except ʿAmmār, yet I do not know what he eventually did.” (1)

Al-Aswad ibn Shaybān related to us—Abū Nawfal ibn Abī ʿAqrab—who said:
“ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir was sparing in speech and often silent. The words he most frequently repeated were: ‘I seek refuge with the All-Merciful from tribulation, I seek refuge with the All-Merciful from tribulation.’ Then a great trial befell him.” (2)

Al-Aʿmash, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ziyād, reported that ʿAmmār said:
“Our mother—meaning ʿĀʾishah—has set out on her path; she is indeed the Prophet’s wife in this world and the Hereafter. Yet Allah has tested us through her, to see whether it is Him we obey or her.” (3)
A similar wording is recorded by al-Bukhārī through the narration of Abū Wāʾil.

Abū Isḥāq al-Sibīʿī said:
ʿAmmār asked ʿAlī, “What is your ruling concerning the children of those we have killed?” He replied, “There is no blame upon them.” ʿAmmār said, “Had you said anything else, we would have opposed you.”

Al-Aʿmash, from Abū Isḥāq, from Saʿīd ibn Ḥumayd, related that ʿAmmār said to ʿAlī on the Day of the Camel,
“What do you intend to do with these people?” ʿAlī answered, “We shall wait and see to whom ʿĀʾishah returns.” ʿAmmār retorted, “And are we to divide ʿĀʾishah as spoils?” ʿAlī replied, “Then how could we divide these people?” ʿAmmār said, “Had you said anything else, we would not have pledged allegiance to you.”
