[Machine] "O Omar, bring it to me so that I may be a witness over it." When he brought it to him, he said: "O enemy of himself, you mislead people without knowledge!" He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, by Allah, I did not innovate it, but I heard it from my uncles." He said: "Which uncles of yours?" He said: "Ubay ibn Ka'b, Rifa'ah ibn Rafi', and Abu Ayub." So Rifaa'ah said (as he was present): "Do not reproach him, O Commander of the Faithful, for we used to do this during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said: "Did you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had knowledge of any of it?" They said: "No." Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "O Commander of the Faithful, this matter is not befitting. Who will they ask after you, O noble ones of Badr?" Ali said: "Send to the Mothers of the Believers." So he sent to Hafsah and she said: "I have no knowledge." So he sent to 'Aisha and she said: "If it exceeds circumcision, then ghusl is obligatory. Then they should melt wax and pour it over the area that has been balded." So a man walked with his companion and said: "What is this dialogue?" One of them claimed that it was the lesser recommended prayer. Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "It is not the lesser recommended prayer until it passes through seven layers." Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said (interpretation of the meaning): "And indeed We created man from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. And the jinns did We create aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. So when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves to him." So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them; except Iblis, he was proud and was one of the disbelievers. Allah said: "O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?" Iblis said: "I am better than him. You created me from fire, and him You created from clay. Allah said: "Then get out from here, for verily, you are Rajim (an outcast or a cursed one)." And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Recompense." So, they disagreed regarding what Ali ibn Abi Talib said, but there was no objection to it."
