[Machine] I heard Zaid ibn Arqam saying, "The first person who prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said in another place, 'The first person who embraced Islam was Ali.'"  

سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلِيٌّ  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went for the Battle of Tabuk, he left Ali behind in Medina. People criticized Ali and disliked his company. So Ali followed the Prophet ﷺ until he caught up with him on the way. Ali said to the Messenger of Allah, 'O Messenger of Allah, you left me in Medina among the weak and the women until they criticized me and disliked my company.' The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'O Ali, I left you to take care of my family. Are you not pleased to be to me like Aaron was to Moses, except that there is no prophet after me?'"  

«لَمَّا غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ خَلَّفَ عَلِيًّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالُوا فِيهِ مَلَّهُ وَكَرِهَ صُحْبَتَهُ فَتَبِعَ عَلِيٌّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَتَّى لَحِقَهُ بِالطَّرِيقِ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَلَّفْتَنِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَعَ الذَّرَارِيِّ وَالنِّسَاءِ حَتَّى قَالُوا مَلَّهُ وَكَرِهَ صُحْبَتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا عَلِيُّ «إِنَّمَا خَلَّفْتُكَ عَلَى أَهْلِي أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي»  

And narrated Sad that the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali, "Will you not be pleased from this that you are to me like Aaron was to Moses?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 3706)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying to Ali, "You are to me like Harun (Aaron) was to Musa (Moses), except that there will be no prophet after me." He said, "Yes, I heard him." I said, "Did you see him put his fingers in his ears?" He said, "Yes, or else he covered them."  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَعِي أَوْ بَعْدِي نَبِيٌّ»؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُهُ قُلْتُ «أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ فَأَدْخَلَ إِصْبُعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ» قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَكَّتَا  

Messenger of Allah, are you leaving me behind amongst women and children? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there would be no prophet after me? (Using translation from Muslim 2404b)  

خَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «تُخَلِّفُنِي فِي النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ» فَقَالَ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي»  

And narrated Sad that the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali, "Will you not be pleased from this that you are to me like Aaron was to Moses?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 3706)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى»  

that the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali: "You are to me in the position that Harun was to Musa, except that there is no Prophet after me." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3730)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever I am his guardian, Ali is his guardian."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّهُ»  

[Machine] "I went with Ali to Yemen, and I saw from him signs of exhaustion. So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned Ali to him, but I belittled him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became furious, and his face changed. He said, 'O Buraida, am I not more deserving of the believers than themselves?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master.'"  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ وَجْهُهُ قَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Ali is from me and I am from him, and he is the guardian of every believer after me."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ عَلِيًّا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ''Ali is part of me and I am part of him, and no one will represent me except 'Ali.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 119)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «عَلِيٌّ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَلَا يُؤَدِّي عَنِّي إِلَّا أَنَا أَوْ عَلِيٌّ»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Farewell Pilgrimage and stayed at Ghadir Khumm, he ordered for a platform to be prepared. Then, he said, "It seems that I have been summoned, so I have responded. I have left among you two weighty things; one of them is greater than the other: the Book of Allah and my progeny, my Ahlul-Bayt. Look how you will treat them after me. Verily, they will not part from each other until they return to me at the Pond (of Al-Kawthar)." Then he said, "Indeed, Allah is my Master and I am the guardian of every believer." He took the hand of Ali and said, "Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master. O Allah, be a friend to his friends and an enemy to his enemies." I said to Zaid, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "There was no man present at Ghadir except that he saw and heard this with his own eyes and ears."  

لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَنَزَلَ غَدِيرَ خُمٍّ أَمَرَ بَدَوْحَاتٍ فَقُمِمْنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَأَنِّي قَدْ دُعِيتُ فَأَجَبْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْآخِرِ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِي فِيهِمَا؟ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ مَوْلَايَ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيُّهُ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّهُ اللهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ» فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْدٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا كَانَ فِي الدَّوْحَاتِ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا رَآهُ بِعَيْنِهِ وَسَمِعَ بِأُذُنِهِ»  

On the day of Khaibar, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tomorrow I will give this flag to a man through whose hands Allah will give us victory. He loves Allah and His Apostle, and he is loved by Allah and His Apostle." The people remained that night, wondering as to who would be given it. In the morning the people went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and everyone of them was hopeful to receive it (i.e. the flag). The Prophet said, "Where is ʿAli bin Abi Talib?" It was said, "He is suffering from eye trouble O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Send for him." ʿAli was brought and Messenger of Allah ﷺ spat in his eye and invoked good upon him. So ʿAli was cured as if he never had any trouble. Then the Prophet ﷺ gave him the flag. ʿAli said "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I will fight with them till they become like us." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Proceed and do not hurry. When you enter their territory, call them to embrace Islam and inform them of Allah's Rights which they should observe, for by Allah, even if a single man is led on the right path (of Islam) by Allah through you, then that will be better for you than the nice red camels. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4210)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ لَأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ غَدَا رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّهُمْ يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطَاهَا» قَالَ أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالُوا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ قَالَ «فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَدَعَا لَهُ فَبَرَأَ حَتَّى كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ وَجَعٌ فَأَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلَنَا قَالَ «انْفُذْ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ بِكَ رَجُلًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, or Allah and His Messenger love him.' So, he called for Ali while he was blind in both eyes, and Allah opened his eyes."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أَوْ قَالَ «يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا وَهُوَ أَرْمَدُ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى يَعْنِي يَدَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Today, I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love." The people became eager and asked, "Where is Ali?" They were told that he was suffering from eye pain. The Prophet called for him and spat in his hands. Then, he wiped Ali's eyes with his blessed hands and handed him the flag. On that day, Allah granted Ali victory.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَأَدْفَعَنَّ الرَّايَةَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَتَطَاوَلَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ عَلِيٌّ؟» قَالُوا يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَبَزَقَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا عَيْنِي عَلِيٍّ وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّايَةَ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ and there were people sitting with him. Ali entered, and when he entered, they left. And when they left, they muttered to one another, saying, "By Allah, he did not make us leave and bring him in." So they returned and entered again. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "By Allah, I did not bring him in and make you leave. Rather, Allah brought him in and made you leave."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ جُلُوسٌ فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ خَرَجُوا فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا تَلَاوَمُوا فَقَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا أَخَرَجَنَا وَأَدْخَلَهُ فَرَجَعُوا فَدَخَلُوا فَقَالَ «وَاللهِ مَا أَنَا أَدْخَلْتُهُ وَأَخْرَجْتُكُمْ بَلِ اللهِ أَدْخَلَهُ وَأَخَرَجَكُمْ»  

'Ali observed: By Him Who split up the seed and created something living, the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a promise that no one but a believer would love me, and none but a hypocrite would nurse grudge against me. (Using translation from Muslim 78)  

«وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِنَّهُ لَعَهْدُ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ لَا يُحِبَّنِي إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَبْغَضَنِي إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ»  

I heard Abu Dhar swearing that the following Holy verse:-- "These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) disputing with each other about their Lord," (22.19) was revealed concerning those men who fought on the day of Badr, namely, Hamza, ʿAli, Ubaida bin Al-Harith, ʿUtba and Shaiba----the two sons of Rabiʿa-- and Al-Walid bin ʿUtba. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3969)   

أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي الَّذِينَ تَبَارَزُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ حَمْزَةَ وَعَلِيٍّ وَعُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَعُتْبَةَ وَشَيْبَةَ ابْنَا رَبِيعَةَ وَالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ
