[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ undertook the expedition of Tabuk, he left Ali behind in Medina. People criticized Ali and disliked his company. The Prophet ﷺ continued on his journey until he met Ali on the way. Ali said, "O Messenger of Allah, you left me in Medina with the weak and the women, and they criticized me and disliked my company." The Prophet ﷺ replied to him, "O Ali, I left you to take care of my family. Would you not be pleased to have the same status with me as Harun had with Musa, except that there is no Prophet after me?"

People talked negatively about Ali and disliked his company, so Ali followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until he caught up with him on the way. Ali said, "O Messenger of Allah, you left me in Medina with the weak and the women until they said negative things about me." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "O Ali, I only left you behind to take care of my family. Are you not pleased to be to me like Haroon was to Musa, except that there will be no prophet after me?"
