Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), but in it are these words: Indeed, Ali is from me and I am from him; after me, he is your friend and companion; he is from me and I am from him, and after me, he is the friend of all of you.
