[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the hand of Ali and delivered a sermon, praising and glorifying Allah. Then he said, "Do you not know that I am closer to you than yourselves?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, you have spoken the truth." He then took the hand of Ali and raised it, saying, "Whoever I am his guardian, this Ali is his guardian. Indeed, Allah supports those who support him and opposes those who oppose him."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٤٢٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَبُو الْجَوْزَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَثْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ قَالَتْ

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ صَدَقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَرَفَعَهَا فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَيُعَادِي مَنْ عَادَاهُ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on the Day of Judgement, he took the hand of Ali and gave a sermon in which he praised and thanked Allah. Then he said, "O people, I am your guardian." They said, "You have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah." Then he took the hand of Ali and raised it and said, "This is my successor and the executor of my will. Indeed, Allah is the protector of whoever supports him and the enemy of whoever opposes him."
