[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "O Anas, go and call 'the Master of the Arabs' for me," referring to Ali. Aisha said, "Are you not the Master of the Arabs?" He said, "I am the Master of the descendants of Adam, and Ali is the Master of the Arabs." When Ali came, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent for the Ansar and they came to him. He said to them, "O people of the Ansar, should I not guide you to something that if you hold onto, you will not go astray afterwards?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "This is Ali, so love him for my sake and honor him for my honor, for Gabriel, ﷺ , has commanded me to do that which I have told you about Allah, the Exalted."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَنَسُ انْطَلِقْ فَادْعُ لِي سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ» يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ أَلَسْتَ سَيِّدَ الْعَرَبِ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَعَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْعَرَبِ» فَلَمَّا جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «هَذَا عَلِيٌّ فَأَحِبُّوهُ بِحُبِّي وَكَرِّمُوهُ لِكَرَامَتي فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ﷺ أَمَرَنِي بِالَّذِي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ عَنِ اللهِ ﷻ»
