[Machine] "Muhammad, even if I said that I heard it from my close companion, I would still believe in Imran bin Husayn's statement: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Tomorrow, I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.' So, he gave it to Ali."  

الطبراني:١٥٧٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا ضِرَارُ بْنُ صُرَدٍ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ

مُحَمَّدٌ وَلَوْ أَنِّي قُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رِبْعِيٍّ لَصَدَقْتُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَأَعْطَاهَا عَلِيًّا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , said, "I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love." So, he called Ali and gave it to him.
