What he said while they were carrying bricks

ʿAmmar was helping build the mosque when it was said.

وَيْحَ عَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ، يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَيَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ

Wayḥa ʿAmmār, taqtuluhu-l-fiʾatu-l-bāghiyah, yadʿūhum ilā-l-jannah wa yadʿūnahu ilā-n-nār

“Alas for ʿAmmar. The transgressing party will kill him. He calls them to the Garden and they call him to the Fire.”

He said, "We were carrying one adobe at a time while `Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw him and started removing the dust from his body and said, "May Allah be Merciful to `Ammar. He will be inviting them (i.e. his murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and they will invite him to Hell-fire." `Ammar said, "I seek refuge with Allah from affliction
