Allah privately addressed Ali at al-Ta'if
[AI] When it was the day of al-Ta'if, the Prophet ﷺ stood with Ali for a long part of the day. Abu Bakr said to him, "O Messenger of Allah! You have certainly prolonged your private conversation with him." He said: "I was not the one who held a private conversation with him; rather, Allah drew him into private conversation."
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الطَّائفِ قَامَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ مَعَ عَلِىٍ مَلِيا بِالنَّهَارِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أبُو بَكْرٍ: يَارَسُولَ اللهِ! لَقَدْ أَطَلْتَ مُنَاجَاتَهُ، قَالَ: «مَا أَنَا نَاجَيْتُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ الله انْتَجَاهُ».
