Then Amir al-mu'minin stepped forward and offered funeral prayers for him, and then with his
own hands, he buried him with his clothes.
`Ammar's death caused a good deal of commotion in the ranks of Mu`awiyah too, because
there were a large number of prominent people fighting from his side under the impression
created in their minds that he was fighting Amir al-mu'minin for a right cause. These people
were aware of the saying of the Holy Prophet that `Ammar would be killed by a group who
would be on the wrong side.
