"Muʿawiyah came on one of his pilgrimages and Saʿd entered upon him. They mentioned ʿAli, and Muʿawiyah criticized him. Saʿd became angry and said: 'Are you saying this of a man of whom I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "If I am a person's close friend, ʿAli is also his close friend." And I heard him say: "You are to me like Harun was to Musa, except that there will be no Prophet after me." And I heard him say: "I will give the banner today to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger."
