[Machine] When Ali ibn Abi Talib was given the oath of allegiance on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Khuzaymah ibn Thabit, who was standing in front of the pulpit, said, "When we pledged allegiance to Ali, we considered Abu Hasan sufficient for us to protect us from turmoil. We found him to be the most deserving of the people with the people, as he was the most knowledgeable about the Book and the traditions. Indeed, Quraysh does not suffer from any harm when it follows its own path, and in Ali, there is all the good that is among them and none of the bad." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in summary.  

لَمَّا بُويِعَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمِنْبَرِ « [البحر الطويل] إِذَا نَحْنُ بَايَعْنَا عَلِيًّا فَحَسْبُنَا أَبُو حَسَنٍ مِمَّا نَخَافُ مِنَ الْفِتَنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِالنَّاسِ أَنَّهُ أَطَبُّ قُرَيْشًا بِالْكِتَابِ وَبِالسُّنَنِ وَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا مَا تَشُقُّ غُبَارَهُ إِذَا مَا جَرَى يَوْمًا عَلَى الضَّمْرِ الْبَدَنْ وَفِيهِ الَّذِي فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ وَمَا فِيهِمْ كُلُّ الَّذِي فِيهِ مِنْ حَسَنْ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
