Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
tirmidhi:3725 – ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ziyād > al-Aḥwaṣ b. Jawwāb Abū al-Jawwāb > Yūnus b. Abū Isḥāq > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

"The Prophet ﷺ dispatched two armies and put 'Ali bin Abi Talib in charge of one of them, and Khalid bin Al-Walid in charge of the other. He said: "When there is fighting, then (the leader is) 'Ali." He said: "So 'Ali conquered a fortress and took a slave girl. So Khalid sent me with a letter to the Prophet ﷺ complaining about him. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he read the letter and his color changed, then he said: 'What is your view concerning one who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.'" He said: "I said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from the wrath of Allah and the anger of His Messenger, and I am but a Messenger.' So he became silent."  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Gharīb and we do not know of any other Ḥadīth except through this particular context.
الترمذي:٣٧٢٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَحْوَصُ بْنُ جَوَّابٍ أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ

"The Prophet ﷺ sent two armies, place 'Ali bin Abi Talib as the commanded of one of them, and Khalid bin Al-Walid over the other. He said: 'Where there is fighting, then 'Ali (is in command).'" He said: "So 'Ali conquered a fortress and took a slave girl. Khalid [bin Al-Walid] wrote a letter and sent me with it to the Prophet ﷺ, to speak against him for it. So I arrived to the Prophet ﷺ to read the letter. The color of his face changed, the he said: 'What do you think about a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him?'" He said: "I said: 'I seek refuge from angering Allah and angering His Messenger, I am only the Messenger.' So he was silent.  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] There is something about this from Ibn 'Umar. This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, we do not know of it except from the narration of Al-Ahwas bin Jawwab. And his saying: "To speak against him for that." refers to An-Namimah.

"بَعَثَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ جَيْشَيْنِ عَلَى أحَدِهِمَا عَلِيُّ بنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعَلَي الآخَرِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ قِتَالٌ فَعَلِيٌّ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَافْتَتَحَ عَلِيٌّ حِصْنًا، فَاتَّخَذَ جَارِيَةً لِنَفْسِهِ، فَكَتَبَ خَالِدٌ يسَوءهُ (*)، فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ الكِتَابِ، قَالَ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّ الله وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ ".
