[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what should I do if the worshippers disagree?" He said, "Go out with your sword to the open area and strike it with it, then go back to your house until death or a wrongful hand reaches you."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْمُصَلُّونَ؟ قَالَ «تَخْرُجُ بِسَيْفِكَ إِلَى الْحَرَّةِ فَتَضْرِبُهَا بِهِ ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتَكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ أَوْ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ» حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص لضعفه  

[Machine] "He gifted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a sword from Najran. When he presented it to him, Muhammad ibn Maslamah gave it to him and said, 'Fight with this in the cause of Allah. When people start arguing, strike with it the stone, then enter your home and be a peaceful guardian until you are killed by the wrong hand or death comes to you as a judgment.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَيْفًا مِنْ نَجْرَانَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ أَعْطَاهُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ وَقَالَ «جَاهِدْ بِهَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ أَعْنَاقُ النَّاسِ فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ وَكُنَّ حِلْسًا مُلْقًى حَتَّى تَقْتُلَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ تَأْتِيَكَ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ»  

[Machine] "I heard Hassan saying: Talhah and Zubayr came to Basra, and the people asked them, 'Why did you come?' They replied, 'We are seeking revenge for the blood of Uthman.' Hassan said, 'Oh, glory be to Allah! Don't people have any common sense? Can't they say, 'By Allah, no one killed Uthman except you?' So when Ali came to Kufa, and people, who also lacked common sense, said to him, 'We swear by Allah, we did not assure your safety.'" (This is an excerpt from a conversation, and some details were omitted in the summarization by Al-Zuhri.)  

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ طَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ مَا جَاءَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا نَطْلُبُ دَمَ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ أَيَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَفَمَا كَانَ لِلْقَوْمِ عُقُولٌ فَيَقُولُونَ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلَ عُثْمَانَ غَيْرُكُمْ؟ قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ وَمَا كَانَ لِلْقَوْمِ عُقُولٌ فَيَقُولُونَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا ضَمَنَّاكَ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "And I saw Talha, and he loved the gatherings the most, so he would excel in them. He would stroke his beard against his chest. I said to him, 'O Abu Muhammad, I see that you love the gatherings the most and you stroke your beard against your chest. If you dislike this matter, then leave it, as no one forces you to do it.' He said, 'O Alqamah bin Waqqas, do not blame me. We were once united like one hand against our enemies, but now we have become like two mighty mountains of iron, and one of us reaches out to his companion.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary."

"Allah restrained me with something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Kisra was destroyed, he said: 'Who did they have to succeed him?' They said: 'His daughter.' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'A people will never succeed who give their leadership to a woman.'" He said: "So when 'Aishah arrived - meaning in Al-Basrah - I remembered the saying of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah restrained me by it." Abu Eisa said: This Hadith is [Hasan] Sahih. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2262)   

عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى قَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفُوا؟» قَالُوا ابْنَتَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ «لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً» قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتْ عَائِشَةُ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم

عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the exit of some of the believing mothers, and Aisha laughed. He said, "Look, Hamiraa, that it may not be you." Then he turned to Ali and said, "If you are given any authority over her, be kind to her." Abdul Jabbar did not leave for him.  

ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خُرُوجَ بَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَضَحِكَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَ «انْظُرِي يَا حُمَيْرَاءُ أَنْ لَا تَكُونِي أَنْتِ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «إِنْ وُلِّيتَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا شَيْئًا فَارْفُقْ بِهَا» عبد الجبار لم يخرجا له  

[Machine] When Ali traveled to Basra, he visited Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , to bid her farewell. She said, "Keep the secret of Allah and seek His protection. By Allah, you are upon the truth, and the truth is with you. If it were not for the fact that I dislike disobeying Allah and His Messenger, he ﷺ advised us to be in our houses, I would have accompanied you. However, I swear by Allah that I will send with you someone who is dearer to me and more precious to me than myself, my son Umar." "These three hadiths are all authentic according to the conditions of both Al-Bukhari and Muslim, and they did not exclude it."

[Machine] "Umar said, 'Stay in your home, for indeed you have joined the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in battle.' He repeated this to him, so Umar said to him for the third time or after it, 'Sit in your home. By Allah, I find that you and your companions will leave from the outskirts of Madinah and cause corruption among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ .'" (Authentic)  

عُمَرُ «اجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ فَقَدْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ» قَالَ فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا «اقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِكَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ بِطَرَفِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْكَ وَمِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجُوا فَتُفْسِدُوا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ» صحيح  

[Machine] When Aisha reached some of the houses of the Bani 'Amir, the dogs barked at her. She asked, "What water is this?" They said, "It is Al-Hawab." Aisha said, "I think I should go back." Az-Zubair said, "No, do not turn back, and the people would see you and Allah will correct the matter between them." Aisha said, "I think I should go back." I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying, "How (regrettable) is the situation of one of you who is startled by the barking of a dog belonging to Al-Hawab (tribe)." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about a conclusion to this narration.  

لَمَّا بَلَغَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَعْضَ دِيَارِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ نَبَحَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْكِلَابُ فَقَالَتْ أَيُّ مَاءٍ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا الْحَوْأَبُ قَالَتْ مَا أَظُنُّنِي إِلَّا رَاجِعَةً فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ لَا بَعْدُ تَقَدَّمِي وَيَرَاكِ النَّاسُ وَيُصْلِحُ اللَّهُ ذَاتَ بَيْنِهِمْ قَالَتْ مَا أَظُنُّنِي إِلَّا رَاجِعَةً سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ بِإِحْدَاكُنَّ إِذْ نَبَحَتْهَا كِلَابُ الْحَوْأَبِ»  

When we left Makkah, the daughter of Hamzah followed us, crying: O uncle, O uncle. I took her by the hand and gave her to Fatimah and said: Here is your cousin. When we came to Madinah, Jaʿfar, Zaid bin Harithah and I disputed concerning her, Jaʿfar said: She is the daughter of my paternal uncle and her maternal aunt is married to me - meaning Asma’ bint ʿUmais, Zaid said. She is the daughter of my brother. I said: I took her and she is the daughter of my paternal uncle. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “As for you, O Jaʿfar, you resemble me in appearance and attitude. As for you, O Ali, you are of me and I am of you. As for you, O Zaid, you are our brother and our freed slave. The girl should be with her maternal aunt, for the maternal aunt is [like] a mother.” I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, why donʿt you marry her? He said: ʿShe is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding.“ (Using translation from Aḥmad 770)   

لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ اتَّبَعَتْنَا ابْنَةُ حَمْزَةَ فَنَادَتْ يَا عَمُّ يَا عَمُّ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهَا فَنَاوَلْتُهَا فَاطِمَةَ قُلْتُ دُونَكِ ابْنَةَ عَمِّكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ اخْتَصَمْنَا فِيهَا أَنَا وَزَيْدٌ وَجَعْفَرٌ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ ابْنَةُ أَخِي وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِجَعْفَرٍ «أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي» وَقَالَ لِزَيْدٍ «أَنْتَ أَخُونَا وَمَوْلَانَا» وَقَالَ لِي «أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْكَ ادْفَعُوهَا إِلَى خَالَتِهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَالَةَ أُمٌّ» فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تَزَوَّجُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ»  

[Machine] What will make me curse the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among you? So I said, "I seek refuge in Allah or glory be to Allah or a similar word." She said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever curses Ali has indeed cursed me.'"  

لِي أَيُسَبُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيكُمْ؟ فَقُلْتُ مُعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَوْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا فَقَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَبَّ عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ سَبَّنِي»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Abdullah Al-Jadali say, "I performed Hajj when I was young, so I passed by the city and saw the people gathered in one place. I followed them and they entered the house of Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ . I heard her say, 'O Shabib ibn Rib'i, a man with a sharp and dry tongue answered her, 'Here I am, O my mother.' She said, 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ curse in your gathering?' He said, 'How is that?' She said, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, 'We say things that we desire worldly gain.' She continued, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever curses Ali has cursed me, and whoever curses me has cursed Allah the Exalted.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَدَلِيَّ يَقُولُ حَجَجْتُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَمَرَرْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَإِذَا النَّاسُ عُنُقٌ وَاحِدٌ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ يَا شَبِيبَ بْنَ رِبْعِيٍّ فَأَجَابَهَا رَجُلٌ جِلْفٌ جَافٍ لَبَّيْكِ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ قَالَتْ يُسَبُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نَادِيكُمْ؟ قَالَ وَأَنَّى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ فَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ إِنَّا لَنَقُولُ أَشْيَاءَ نُرِيدُ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَبَّ عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ سَبَّنِي وَمَنْ سَبَّنِي فَقَدْ سَبَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

“Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, And whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah. Whoever obeys the ruler, obeys me, and whoever disobeys the ruler, disobeys me.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2859)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَ عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي وَمَنْ عَصَى عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ عَصَانِي»  

[Machine] "O enemy of Allah, you have harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Indeed, those who harm Allah and His Messenger, Allah curses them in this world and the Hereafter and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment." [Al-Ahzab 57] If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were alive, you would harm him.  

يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ آذَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُهِينًا} [الأحزاب 57] لَوْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيًّا لَآذَيْتَهُ  

[Machine] "We went with Ali to Yemen, and his long journey tired me until I found it in myself. When I arrived, I expressed my complaint to him in the mosque until the messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed. I entered the mosque one morning and the messenger of Allah ﷺ was with some of his companions. When he saw me, he fixed his gaze on me and said, 'He says he has a complaint against me.' So I sought refuge in Allah from causing harm to you, O Messenger of Allah. He said, 'Indeed, whoever harms Ali has harmed me.'"  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَجَفَانِي فِي سَفَرِهِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِي فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ أَظْهَرْتُ شِكَايَتَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَبَّدَنِي عَيْنَيْهِ قَالَ يَقُولُ حَدَّدَ إِلَيَّ النَّظَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَلَسْتُ قَالَ «يَا عَمْرُو أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ آذَيْتَنِي» فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أُؤْذِيَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «بَلَى مَنْ آذَى عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَانِي»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Ali, "You will clarify for my nation what they differed about after me."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَنْتَ تُبَيِّنُ لِأُمَّتِي مَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when his sandal broke, so Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed behind to fix it. He walked a little and then said, "There are among you those who fight for the interpretation of the Quran as I fought for its revelation." The people eagerly asked who it was, including Abu Bakr and Umar. Abu Bakr said, "It is me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Umar said, "It is me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but it is the one who is fixing the sandal," referring to Ali. We went to him and gave him the glad tidings, but he did not raise his head, as if he had heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْقَطَعَتْ نَعْلُهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ عَلِيٌّ يَخْصِفُهَا فَمَشَى قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ» فَاسْتَشْرَفَ لَهَا الْقَوْمُ وَفِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا هُوَ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا هُوَ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ» يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called me and said, "O Ali, indeed in you is a resemblance to Jesus, peace be upon him, that the Jews will despise him to the extent that they will slander his mother, and the Christians will love him to the extent that they will exalt him to a status not befitting of him." Ali said, "Verily, he will be destroyed by excessive love for him, as he will be neglected by what is not in him. And he will be hated by false claims against him, although I am not a prophet and no revelation comes to me, but I follow the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace be upon him, as much as I am able. So whatever I command you with in obedience to Allah, it is upon you to obey me in what you love or hate. And whatever I command you with disobedience, neither I nor anyone else is to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah, the Almighty. Indeed, obedience is only in what is good." [Sahih Isnad, not reported by al-Hakam bin Abdul-Malik and here is Ibn Mu'in.]  

دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ فِيكَ مِنْ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ مَثَلًا أَبْغَضَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ حَتَّى بَهَتُوا أُمَّهُ وَأَحَبَّتْهُ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى أَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِي لَيْسَ بِهَا» قَالَ وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ «أَلَا وَأَنَّهُ يَهْلِكُ فِي مُحِبٍّ مُطْرِي يُفَرِّطُنِي بِمَا لَيْسَ فِي وَمُبْغِضٌ مُفْتَرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ شَنَآنِي عَلَى أَنْ يَبْهَتَنِي أَلَا وَأَنِّي لَسْتُ بِنَبِيٍّ وَلَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ وَلَكِنِّي أَعْمَلُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ فَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَحَقَّ عَلَيْكُمْ طَاعَتِي فِيمَا أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَوْ كَرِهْتُمْ وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ أَنَا وَغَيْرِي فَلَا طَاعَةَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ» «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» الحكم بن عبد الملك وهاه ابن معين  

“O ʿAli, you have a treasure in Paradise and you are with two harns of this ummah. Do not follow one glance with another; you may be allowed the first but not the second.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1373)   

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ لَكَ كَنْزًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّكَ ذُو قَرْنَيْهَا فَلَا تُتْبِعَنَّ النَّظْرَةَ نَظْرَةً فَإِنَّ لَكَ الْأُولَى وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ الْآخِرَةُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Ali, whoever separates from me has indeed separated from Allah, and whoever separates from you O Ali, has indeed separated from me." This hadith has a authentic chain of narration, even though it was rejected by some individuals.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ فَارَقَنِي فَقَدْ فَارَقَ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ فَارَقَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ فَقَدْ فَارَقَنِي» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ بل منكر  

[Machine] The Prophet (pbuh) said, "I am the leader of the descendants of Adam, and Ali is the leader of the Arabs."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَعَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْعَرَبِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray for me, the leader of the Arabs." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, aren't you the leader of the Arabs?" He said, "I am the leader of the offspring of Adam, and Ali is the leader of the Arabs."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ادْعُوا لِي سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَسْتَ سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَعَلِيٌّ سَيِّدِ الْعَرَبِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray for me, the leader of the Arabs." Aisha replied, "Are you not the leader of the Arabs, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I am the leader of the children of Adam, and Ali is the leader of the Arabs." This was narrated by Ibn 'Awf.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ادْعُوا لِي سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَلَسْتَ سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَعَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْعَرَبِ» وضعه ابن علوان  

[Machine] "I was with Ali on the Day of Camel, and when I saw Aisha standing, I felt a sense of unease. Allah then revealed to me the reason for that during the Dhuhr prayer. I fought alongside the Commander of the Believers, and when it was over, I went to the city and visited Umm Salamah. I said to her, 'By Allah, I did not come to ask for food or drink, but I am a supporter of Abu Dhar.' She welcomed me and I narrated my story to her. She asked, 'Where were you when hearts flew like birds?' I replied, 'I went to the place where Allah revealed to me the reason for that when the sun had set.' She said, 'Well done! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Ali is with the Quran, and the Quran is with Ali. They will never separate until they return to me at the Pond.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ وَاقِفَةً دَخَلَنِي بَعْضُ مَا يَدْخُلُ النَّاسَ فَكَشَفَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَقَاتَلْتُ مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَيْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُ طَعَامًا وَلَا شَرَابًا وَلَكِنِّي مَوْلًى لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقَالَتْ مَرْحَبًا فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهَا قِصَّتِي فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ حِينَ طَارَتِ الْقُلُوبُ مَطَائِرَهَا؟ قُلْتُ إِلَى حَيْثُ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ عَنِّي عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «عَلِيٌّ مَعَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْقُرْآنُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ لَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on Ali. O Allah, guide the truth with him wherever he goes."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَلِيًّا اللَّهُمَّ أَدِرِ الْحَقَّ مَعَهُ حَيْثُ دَارَ»  

"When I would ask the Messenger of Allah SAW he would give me, and when I would be silent, he would initiate (speech or giving) with me." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3729)  

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ «كُنْتُ إِذَا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَانِي وَإِذَا سَكَتَ ابْتَدَأَنِي»  

[Machine] One of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had several doors in the mosque. So one day, he said, "Close all these doors except for Ali's door." Some people spoke about this, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and praised and glorified Allah. Then he said, "After that, I have been commanded to close these doors except for Ali's door." He (the companion) said, "By Allah, I did not close or open anything, but I followed what I was commanded to do."  

كَانَتْ لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبْوَابٌ شَارِعَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَوْمًا «سُدُّوا هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابَ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ» قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ نَاسٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِسَدِّ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ غَيْرَ بَابِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَائِلُكُمْ وَاللَّهِ مَا سَدَدْتُ شَيْئًا وَلَا فَتَحْتُهُ وَلَكِنْ أُمِرْتُ بِشَيْءٍ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ  

[Machine] "To have a characteristic from her is more beloved to me than being given the red camels," it was said, "And what are they, O Amir al-Mu'minin?" He said, "For Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to marry him (Ali) and for them to live in the mosque along with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, where he can have whatever he wishes, and the flag of victory on the day of Khaibar."  

لِأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْطَى حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ قِيلَ وَمَا هُنَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ «تَزَوَّجُهُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسُكْنَاهُ الْمَسْجِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَحِلُّ لَهُ فِيهِ مَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ وَالْرَايَةُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ»  

[Machine] I asked Qutham ibn al-Abbas, "How did Ali inherit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instead of you?" He said, "Because he was the foremost among us in knowledge and the most intense among us in dedication."  

سَأَلْتُ قُثَمَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ كَيْفَ وَرِثَ عَلِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دُونَكُمْ؟ قَالَ «لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَوَّلَنَا بِهِ لُحُوقًا وَأَشَدَّنَا بِهِ لُزُوقًا»  

[Machine] "The heir inherits by lineage or loyalty, and there is no disagreement among the people of knowledge that the cousin does not inherit alongside the paternal uncle. It has been established by consensus that Ali inherited knowledge from the Prophet ﷺ more than they did, in accordance with what the judge mentioned." Imam al-Dhahabi did not mention it in his summary.  

«إِنَّمَا يَرِثُ الْوَارِثُ بِالنَّسَبِ أَوْ بِالْوَلَاءِ وَلَا خِلَافَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْعَمِّ لَا يَرِثُ مَعَ الْعَمِّ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بِهَذَا الِإِجْمَاعِ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا وَرِثَ الْعِلْمَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دُونَهُمْ وَبِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ الْقَاضِي» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Ali used to say about the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Indeed, Allah says, 'So if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels?' [Surah Al-Imran 3:144]. By Allah, we would not turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us. And by Allah, if he dies or is killed, I will fight for what he fought for until I die. By Allah, I am his brother, his deputy, his cousin, and the inheritor of his knowledge. So who is more deserving of it than me?" Al-Dhahabi remains silent about summarizing it.  

كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ} [آل عمران 144] وَاللَّهِ لَا نَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ عَلَى مَا قَاتَلَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَخُوهُ وَوَلِيُّهُ وَابْنُ عَمِّهِ وَوَارِثُ عَلْمِهِ فَمَنْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنِّي سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said in a sermon he delivered during the Farewell Hajj, "I will kill the giants in the battalion." Then Gabriel, peace be upon him, said to him, "Or Ali, or Ali ibn Abi Talib." Ismail bin Yahya bin Salamah bin Khiyal and his father were present.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ «لَأَقْتُلَنَّ الْعَمَالِقَةَ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَوْ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ «أَوْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ» إسمعيل بن يحيى بن سلمة بن كهيل وأبوه متروكان  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate, so whoever desires the city, let him come to its gate."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَعَلِيٌّ بَابُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلْيَأْتِ الْبَابَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate. Whoever seeks the city should come to its gate." Al-Husayn ibn Fahm reported that Abu As-Salt al-Harawi narrated it on the authority of Abu Muawiyah.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَعَلِيٌّ بَابُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلْيَأْتِ الْبَابَ» قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ فَهْمٍ حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو الصَّلْتِ الْهَرَوِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "I am the city of knowledge, and Ali is its gate. Whoever seeks knowledge should come to its gate."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَعَلِيٌّ بَابُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْعِلْمَ فَلْيَأْتِ الْبَابَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ looked at me and said, "O Ali, you are a master in this world and a master in the Hereafter. You are my beloved and the beloved of Allah. Whoever is your enemy is also my enemy and the enemy of Allah. Woe to those who hate you after me."  

نَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ سَيِّدٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا سَيِّدٌ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَبِيبُكَ حَبِيبِي وَحَبِيبِي حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوُّكَ عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوُّي عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ وَالْوَيْلُ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ بَعْدِي»  

“Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, And whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah. Whoever obeys the ruler, obeys me, and whoever disobeys the ruler, disobeys me.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2859)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ «مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي وَمَنْ عَصَاكَ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever wishes to live my life and die my death and dwell in the everlasting Paradise that my Lord has promised me, then let him be a follower of Ali bin Abi Talib, for he will never lead you astray and will never misguide you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْيَى حَيَاتِي وَيَمُوتَ مَوْتِي وَيَسْكُنَ جَنَّةَ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي فَلْيَتَوَلَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنْ هُدًى وَلَنْ يُدْخِلَكُمْ فِي ضَلَالَةٍ»  

[Machine] "We used to know the hypocrites only by their lies against Allah and His Messenger, and their negligence in performing prayers and their hostility towards Ali ibn Abi Talib."  

«مَا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِلَّا بِتَكْذِيبِهِمُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالتَّخَلُّفَ عَنِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالْبُغْضِ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was holding the finger of Ali ibn Abi Talib and saying, "This is the prince of virtue, the killer of the enemy, the victorious one whom whoever supports him is successful and whoever betrays him is doomed." Then he raised his voice with it.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِضَبْعِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «هَذَا أَمِيرُ الْبَرَرَةِ قَاتِلُ الْفَجَرَةِ مَنْصُورٌ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ مَخْذُولٌ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ» ثُمَّ مَدَّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ  

[Machine] Fatima married me from a family that had no money  

فَاطِمَةُ زَوَّجْتَنِي مِنْ عَائِلٍ لَا مَالَ لَهُ  

[Machine] Regarding Ali, "Indeed, you are but a warner, and for every people, there is a guide." [Surah Ar-Ra'd 7] Ali said, "I am the Messenger of Allah, the warner, and I am the guide."  

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ {إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ} [الرعد 7] قَالَ عَلِيٌّ «رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُنْذِرُ وَأَنَا الْهَادِي»  

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ got angry, none of us dared to speak to him except Ali ibn Abi Talib."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا غَضِبَ لَمْ يَجْتَرِئْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا يُكَلِّمُهُ غَيْرَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ  

[Machine] "A man said to Salman, 'How strong is your love for Ali?' He replied, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever loves Ali, loves me and whoever hates Ali, hates me.'"  

رَجُلٌ لِسَلْمَانَ مَا أَشَدَّ حُبُّكَ لِعَلِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَلِيًّا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah has commanded me to love four of my companions and informed me that He loves them." We asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? We all want to be among them." He said, "Indeed, Ali is one of them," and then he remained silent. Then he said, "As for Ali, he is one of them," and then he remained silent.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي بِحُبِّ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُمْ» قَالَ قُلْنَا مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ وَكُلُّنَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ عَلِيًّا مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عَلِيًّا مِنْهُمْ « ثُمَّ سَكَتَ»  

[Machine] I used to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he was presented with a roasted bird. He said, "O Allah, bring to me one of Your beloved creatures who will eat with me from this bird." So I said, "O Allah, make him a man from the Ansar (helpers)." Then Ali came, and I said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is in need." Then he came again, and I said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is in need." Then he came again, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Open it." So he entered, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What kept you from me?" He said, "These were the last three mouthfuls that Anas insisted on returning me, thinking that you were in need." He (the Prophet) said, "What made you do what you did?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I heard your supplication and I wished to be a man from my people." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, a man may love his people."  

كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُدِّمَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرْخٌ مَشْوِيٌّ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمُ ائْتِنِي بِأَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ يَأْكُلُ مَعِي مِنْ هَذَا الطَّيْرِ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمُ اجْعَلْهُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «افْتَحْ» فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا حَبَسَكَ عَلَيَّ» فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ آخِرَ ثَلَاثِ كَرَّاتٍ يَرُدَّنِي أَنَسٌ يَزْعُمُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ دُعَاءَكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ يُحِبُّ قَوْمَهُ»  

[Machine] O son of al-Hajjaj, don't you see that you belittle Ali ibn Abi Talib, whom Muhammad ﷺ sent with truth? I used to be the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and every day I used to serve a young boy from the Ansar in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . That day happened to be my daily routine when Umm Ayman, the foster mother of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , came with a bird. I placed it in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he asked, "O Umm Ayman, what is this bird?" She said, "I found this bird and made it for you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, bring to me the dearest of Your creation to you and me, so that he may eat with me from this bird." He knocked on the door and said, "O Anas, see who is at the door." I said, "O Allah, make him a man from the Ansar." I went, and there was Ali at the door. I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is in need." I came near and stood in my place, but I had barely stood when he knocked on the door and said, "O Anas, see who is at the door." I said, "O Allah, make him a man from the Ansar." I went, and there was Ali at the door. I said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is in need." I came near and stood in my place, but I had barely stood when he knocked on the door and said, "O Anas, go and let him in, for you are not the first to love his people, but he is not from the Ansar." So I went and let him in. He said, "O Anas, bring the bird near him." I placed it in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and they both ate. Muhammad ibn al-Hajjaj said, "O Anas, was this arranged by you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "I swear by Allah, I have given you a pledge not to belittle Ali after this incident, and I don't know anyone who belittles him except that I will break his nose." Ibrahim ibn Thabit, you are incorrect.  

يَا ابْنَ الْحَجَّاجِ أَلَا أَرَاكَ تَنْقُصُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ خَادِمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَكَانَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَخْدُمُ بَيْنَ يَدِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُلَامٌ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَوْمِي فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ مَوْلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِطَيْرٍ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ مَا هَذَا الطَّائِرُ؟» قَالَتْ هَذَا الطَّائِرُ أَصَبْتُهُ فَصَنَعْتُهُ لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ جِئْنِي بِأَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَيَّ يَأْكُلُ مَعِي مِنْ هَذَا الطَّائِرِ» وَضَرَبَ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَنَسُ انْظُرْ مَنْ عَلَى الْبَابِ» قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ بِالْبَابِ قُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ مِنْ مَقَامِي فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ ضَرَبَ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ «يَا أَنَسُ انْظُرْ مَنْ عَلَى الْبَابِ» فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ بِالْبَابِ قُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ مَقَامِي فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ ضَرَبَ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَنَسُ اذْهَبْ فَأَدْخِلْهُ فَلَسْتَ بِأَوَّلِ رَجُلٍ أَحَبَّ قَوْمَهُ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ» فَذَهَبْتُ فَأَدْخَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَنَسُ قَرِّبْ إِلَيْهِ الطَّيْرَ» قَالَ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَكَلَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ يَا أَنَسُ كَانَ هَذَا بِمَحْضَرٍ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أُعْطِي بِاللَّهِ عَهْدًا أَلَّا أَنْتَقِصَ عَلِيًّا بَعْدَ مَقَامِي هَذَا وَلَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يَنْتَقِصُهُ إِلَّا أَشْنَبَ لَهُ وَجْهَهُ» إبراهيم بن ثابت ساقط  

[Machine] So they began and started speaking, and we do not know what they said. He said, then he came shaking his garment and saying, "Alas and woe to them!" They fell into a man who possessed more than ten virtues that no one else had. They fell into a man whom the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will send a man who will never be humiliated by Allah. He loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." So he became ambitious for her, and he said, "Where is Ali?" They said, "He is at the grinding mill." He said, "No one of them can grind." He came while he was blind, barely able to see, and he blew into his eyes, and then he shook the flag three times and gave it to him. Ali came with Safiya bint Huyay, and Ibn Abbas said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man with Surah Al-Tawbah, and then he sent Ali after him. He took it from him and said, 'No one should take it except a man who is like me, and I am like him.' Ibn Abbas said, "The Prophet ﷺ asked his cousins, 'Who among you would be loyal to me in this life and the Hereafter?' Ali was sitting with them, and he said, 'Oh, Messenger of Allah, I will be loyal to you in this life and the Hereafter.' He said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached a man from among them and said, 'Who among you would be loyal to me in this life and the Hereafter?' They refused, so he said to Ali, 'You are my ally in this life and the Hereafter.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Ali was the first person to believe after Khadijah.' He said, 'Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took off his robe and put it on Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husain, and said, 'Indeed, Allah wants to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and purify you completely.'
