The Prophet ﷺ sent ʿAli to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated ʿAli, and ʿAli had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see this (i.e. ʿAli)?" When we reached the Prophet ﷺ I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you hate ʿAli?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلِيًّا إِلَى خَالِدٍ لِيَقْبِضَ الْخُمُسَ وَكُنْتُ أُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا وَقَدِ اغْتَسَلَ فَقُلْتُ لِخَالِدٍ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى هَذَا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ أَتُبْغِضُ عَلِيًّا فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لاَ تُبْغِضْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي الْخُمُسِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
