" عنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: الوَلاَءُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الحِلفِ لاَ يُبَاعُ وَلاَ يُوهَبُ، أُقِرَّ (*) حَيْثُ جَعَلَهُ الله ".

Collected by Bayhaqī, Suyūṭī
bayhaqi:21441 – Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥasan al-Qāḍī > Abū al-ʿAbbās > al-Rabīʿ > al-Shāfiʿī > Sufyān > Ibn Abū Najīḥ > Mujāhid > ʿAlī

[Machine] Loyalty is similar to swearing allegiance, which God has made obligatory wherever He has mentioned it.

البيهقي:٢١٤٤١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ قَالَ

الْوَلَاءُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْحِلْفِ أَقِرَّهُ حَيْثُ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ

bayhaqi:21442 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-Walīd > al-Ḥasan b. Sufyān > ʿAbbās b. al-Walīd al-Narsī > Sufyān > Ibn Abū Najīḥ > Mujāhid > ʿAlī

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Guardianship (loyalty) is like lineage, it cannot be sold or given as a gift, rather, it is granted to the one whom Allah has placed it upon.

البيهقي:٢١٤٤٢ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْوَلَاءُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النَّسَبِ لَا يُبَاعُ وَلَا يُوهَبُ أَقِرَّهُ حَيْثُ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ
