I went out with my father to visit Ali bin Abu Talib , who was suffering from a severe illness. My father said to him, "What keeps you in this dwelling of yours? If your appointed time were to come upon you here, no one would tend to you except the bedouins of Juhaynah, and you would have to be carried to Madinah. But if your appointed time comes while you are there, your companions would tend to you and pray over you."Ali
replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me a covenant that I would not die until I am made commander, and then this," meaning his beard, "will be dyed with the blood of this," meaning his head."He was indeed killed, and Abu Fadala was killed alongside Ali at the Battle of Siffin.
حدثنا هاشم بن القاسم حدثنا محمد يعني ابن راشد عن عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل
خرجت مع أبي عائدا لعلي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه من مرض أصابه ثقل منه قال فقال له أبي ما يقيمك في منزلك هذا لو أصابك أجلك لم يلك إلا أعراب جهينة تحمل إلى المدينة فإن أصابك أجلك وليك أصحابك وصلوا عليك فقال علي رضي الله عنه إن رسول الله ﷺ عهد إلي أن لا أموت حتى أؤمر ثم تخضب هذه يعني لحيته من دم هذه يعني هامته فقتل وقتل أبو فضالة مع علي يوم صفين
