عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَوْلَى عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent Ali to Yemen and appointed him as a leader. When Ali was about to leave, the Prophet said to him, "O Abu Rafi', fulfill your duty and do not let it be neglected from behind you. Stand and do not turn back until I come to you." Ali waited and did not turn back until the Prophet came to him. The Prophet then advised him on certain matters and said, "O Ali, it is better for you if Allah guides a person through your guidance than if the sun rises upon him."
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلِيًّا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَعَقَدَ لَهُ لِوَاءً فَلَمَّا مَضَى قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ الْحَقْهُ وَلَا تَدَعْهُ مِنْ خَلْفَهِ وَلْيَقَفْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى أَجِيئَهُ وَأَتَاهُ فَأَوْصَاهُ بِأَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ لَأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ عَلَى يَدِكَ رَجُلًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ»
