کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Ibn Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Issa bin Omar, who said: I heard a sheikh, speaking to Amr bin Murrah, who said: Abdullah bin Amr said, and I did not see him referring to anyone other than him: “I was reading this verse {Indeed, you are dead and they are dead, then on the Day of Resurrection you will dispute with your Lord} [Az-Zumar: 31] and I saw that it was among the People of the Book, until some of us restrained each other’s faces with swords, so we knew that it was among us.”
