[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said: "Among you is someone who fights for the interpretation of the Qur'an, just as he fought for its revelation."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلَ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Among you there are those who fight for his interpretation as I fought for its revelation." Abu Bakr and Umar then stood up and said: "No, but rather he is the mender of the sandals, and Ali is the one who mends his sandals."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِهِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ قَالَ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ وَعَلِيٌّ يَخْصِفُ نَعْلَهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, among you there will be those who fight for the interpretation of the Quran, just as I fought for its revelation." Abu Bakr asked, "Am I the one, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "No." Umar asked, "Am I the one, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, but you are the companion of the sandals." Ali asked, "Was it me, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "No, but you are the one who will repair them."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ» قَالَ وَكَانَ أَعْطَى عَلِيًّا نَعْلَهُ يَخْصِفُهُ  

[Machine] We were sitting, waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , when he came out to us with a torn sandal strap. He threw it to Ali and said, "Among you is someone who will fight for the interpretation of the Quran as I fought for its revelation." Abu Bakr said, "Is it me?" He said, "No." Umar said, "Is it me?" He said, "No, but it is the companion of the sandal."  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا قَدِ انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ نَعْلِهِ فَرَمَى بِهَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ صَاحِبَ النَّعْلِ»
