"عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَى عَلِىٍّ وَفْدٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَخَطَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُم فَقَالَ فِى خُطْبَتِهِ: إِنَّ طَاعَةَ هَذَا طَاعَةُ الرَّب، وَمَعْصِيَتَهُ مَعْصِيَةُ الرَّبِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِىٌّ كَذَبْتَ، إِنَمَا ذَاكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِى طَاعَتُهُ طَاعَةُ الرَّب، وَمَعْصِيَتُهُ مَعْصِيةُ الرَّبِ - ﷻ -".
