[Machine] Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said: "We used to sit waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he came out to us from one of his wives' homes. He stood with us, and his shoe lace broke, so Ali stayed to mend it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued on and we went with him. Then he stood waiting for Ali, and we stood with him. He said, 'Indeed, among you there are those who will fight for the interpretation of this Quran as I fought for its revelation.' Abu Bakr and Umar were with us, and he said, 'Not even him, rather he is just mending the shoe lace.' Then we came to give him the good news (about Ali mending the shoe lace) and it seemed like he had already heard it."  

قَالَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ نِسَائِهِ قَالَ فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَانْقَطَعَتْ نَعْلُهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيٌّ يَخْصِفُهَا فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَضَيْنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ يَنْتَظِرُهُ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ فَاسْتَشْرَفْنَا وَفِينَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ قَالَ فَجِئْنَا نُبَشِّرُهُ قَالَ وَكَأَنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ
