Did prophet SAWW predict the death of Ammar?
Yes, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did predict the death of Ammar ibn Yasir. This is supported by multiple narrations. For instance, Sahih al-Bukhari records that the Prophet passed by Ammar while he was carrying bricks for the mosque and said: Woe to Ammar! He will be killed by a group spreading evil. Ammar calls them to Allah’s path, and they call him to the Fire.
Sahih al-Bukhari 56:28.
Additionally, Sahih Muslim also narrates that the Prophet said, A rebellious group will kill Ammar.
Sahih Muslim 54:90. Sunan al-Tirmidhi similarly reports, Glad tidings, Ammar, the oppressive group will kill you.
Sunan al-Tirmidhi 49:200. These narrations indicate that the Prophet ﷺ foretold the circumstances around Ammar's death, highlighting his role and the nature of the conflict he would face.

Ibn Abbas said to me and to Ali bin Abdullah: Come to Abu Saeed and listen to his narration. So we came to him; he and his brother were watering a wall. When he saw us, he came and sat. He said: We used to carry bricks for the mosque, one by one, and Ammar used to carry two bricks at once. The Prophet passed by and wiped the dust off his head and said: Woe to Ammar! He will be killed by a group spreading evil. Ammar calls them to Allah’s path, and they call him to the Fire.
