[Machine] I heard Ali say, "Perform Hajj before you are unable to do so." It was as if I could see a deaf Abyssinian breaking down a building stone by stone with a pickaxe in his hand. I asked him, "Is this something you are saying based on your own opinion, or did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "No, by the One who split the grain and created the soul, but I heard it from your Prophet ﷺ."
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ «حُجُّوا قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا تَحُجُّوا» فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى حَبَشِيٍّ أَصْمَعَ أَفْدَعَ بِيَدِهِ مِعْوَلٌ يَهْدِمُهَا حَجَرًا حَجَرًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ شَيْءٌ تَقُولُهُ بِرَأْيِكَ أَوْ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ»
