كَانَ خَطَّابٌ الْجُهَنِيُّ خَلِيطاً لَنَا وَ كَانَ شَدِيدَ النَّصْبِ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليهم السلام ) وَ كَانَ يَصْحَبُ نَجْدَةَ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَعُودُهُ لِلْخُلْطَةِ وَ التَّقِيَّةِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مُغْمًى عَلَيْهِ فِي حَدِّ الْمَوْتِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا لِي وَ لَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَآهُ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ رَآهُ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Aziz Al Abdy, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said, ‘Khattab Al-Juhny used to blend in with us and he was extremely hostile to the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and he was a companions of Najdat Al-Harouriyya. So I went over to him for a short visit (during his death) due to his blending in with us and the (observance of) dissimulation. So when he was gloomy upon it during a limit of the death, I heard him saying, ‘What is the matter with me and you, (i.e., ‘Why am I against you’) O Ali?’ So I informed Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about that. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He saw him<sup>saww</sup>, by the Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of the Kabah! He saw him<sup>saww</sup>, by the Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of the Kabah!’
