[Machine] I entered upon Saad and said to him a statement that I was informed about you when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed Ali over Madinah. He became angry and said, "Who informed you of this?" I hated to inform him that his son had informed me, as he would become angry with him. Then he said, "Indeed, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out during the battle of Tabuk, he appointed Ali over Madinah." Ali said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not like for a face to go out without me being with it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you not want to be like Haroon was to Musa, except that there will be no prophet after me?"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَعْدٍ فَقُلْتُ حَدِيثًا حُدِّثْتُهُ عَنْكَ حِينَ اسْتَخْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ بِهِ؟ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَهُ حَدَّثَنِيهِ فَيَغْضَبَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ وَجْهًا إِلا وَأَنَا مَعَكَ فَقَالَ أَوَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي
