[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
