[Machine] There was a group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had their own doors in the mosque. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Close all these doors except the door of Ali." Some people spoke about this matter, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and praised Allah and glorified Him. Then he said, "As for what comes after, I have been commanded to close these doors except the door of Ali." One of you said, "By Allah, I did not close it nor did I open it, but I followed what I was commanded."

كَانَ لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْوَابٌ شَارِعَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سُدُّوا هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابَ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ» فَتَكَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ أُنَاسٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِسَدِّ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ غَيْرَ بَابِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَائِلُكُمْ وَاللهِ مَا سَدَدْتُهُ وَلَا فَتَحْتُهُ وَلَكِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِشَيْءٍ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ»
