Abu Wadi reported,

I was present with Ali when the people of Nahrawan were killed.He said, "Search for the deformed man among the slain."They searched among the dead and said, "We cannot find him."He said, "Go back and search. By Allah, I have not lied, nor have I been lied to."So they went back and searched, but did not find him. He repeated this several times, each time swearing by Allah, "I have not lied, nor have I been lied to."Then they set off and found him beneath the slain in some mud. They pulled him out and brought him forward.Abu Wadi said, "It is as if I am still looking at him, an Abyssinian with a breast attached to one of his arms like a woman's breast, with hairs on it resembling the hairs on the tail of a jerboa."

عن أبي الوضيء قال

شهدت عليا رضي الله عنه حيث قتل أهل النهروان قال التمسوا إلي المخدج فطلبوه في القتلى فقالوا ليس نجده فقال ارجعوا فالتمسوا فوالله ما كذبت ولا كذبت فرجعوا فطلبوه فردد ذلك مرارا كل ذلك يحلف بالله ما كذبت ولا كذبت فانطلقوا فوجدوه تحت القتلى في طين فاستخرجوه فجيء به فقال أبو الوضيء فكأني أنظر إليه حبشي عليه ثدي قد طبق إحدى يديه مثل ثدي المرأة عليها شعرات مثل شعرات تكون على ذنب اليربوع
