[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) once asked Ali, "Who are the most miserable among the people?" Ali replied, "The one who killed the she-camel, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (PBUH) said, "You have spoken the truth. And who are the most miserable among the people?" Ali said, "I do not know, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The one who strikes you on this," and he pointed to his cheek. Ali then said to the people of Iraq, "By Allah, I wish that he had sent your most miserable ones, and dyed his beard with this," and he touched his beard. This narration is reported by Suwaid ibn Sa'id, and Al-Hadhrami also mentioned it in his narration. The Prophet (PBUH) pointed to his cheek with his hand, referring to being struck on the cheek.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمًا لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ «مَنْ أَشْقَى الْأَوَّلِينَ؟» قَالَ الَّذِي عَقَرَ النَّاقَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «صَدَقْتَ فَمَنْ أَشْقَى الْآخَرِينَ؟» قَالَ لَا عَلِمَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «الَّذِي يَضْرِبُكَ عَلَى هَذِهِ» وَأَشَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى يَافُوخِهِ فَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ يَقُولُ لِأَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ «أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدِ ابْتَعَثَ أَشْقَاكُمْ فَخَضَبَ هَذِهِ يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ» وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى يَافُوخِهِ
