[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with Khalid bin Al-Walid to Yemen, and he sent Ali on another army. He said, "If you two meet, Ali will be in charge of the people. But if you separate, each one of you will be responsible for his own group." We encountered the Bani Zaid from the people of Yemen and the Muslims prevailed over the polytheists. We killed the warriors and captured their offspring. Ali selected a slave girl from the captives for himself and Khalid bin Al-Walid wrote about it to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ then commanded me to deliver the letter to him. When Ali received it, the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed. I said, "This is the place of refuge. You sent me with a man and commanded me to obey him. I have conveyed what I was sent with." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Buraydah, do not be hostile towards Ali. Verily, Ali is from me and I am from him, and he is your leader after me."  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ مَعَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَبَعَثَ عَلِيًّا عَلَى جَيْشٍ آخَرَ وَقَالَ «إِنِ الْتَقَيْتُمَا فَعَلِيٌّ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَإِنْ تَفَرَّقْتُمَا فَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمَا عَلَى حِدَتِهِ» فَلَقِينَا بَنِي زَيْدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ وَظَهَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَتَلْنَا الْمُقَاتِلَةَ وَسَبَيْنَا الذُّرِّيَّةَ فَاصْطَفَى عَلِيٌّ جَارِيَةً لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ السَّبْيِ فَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَنَالَ مِنْهُ قَالَ «فَدَفَعْتُ الْكِتَابَ إِلَيْهِ وَنِلْتُ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقُلْتُ هَذَا مَكَانُ الْعَائِذِ بَعَثْتَنِي مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَرْتَنِي بِطَاعَتِهِ فَبَلَّغْتُ مَا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقَعَنَّ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ فِي عَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّكُمْ بَعْدِي»
