عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ بِبَرَاءَةٍ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَالَ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا إِلَّا أَنَا أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَبَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent him along with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) for the proclamation of Bara’ah. When they reached the place of Dhu’l-Hulayfah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: This proclamation before the people of Makkah can only be made by myself or someone from my family. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) after them with this message.
