(Second chain) Abu Wadi'i says: We were going towards Kufa in the company of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him. Then he mentioned the hadith related to the man with the defective hand. Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said three times: By Allah! Neither have I lied nor has a lie been narrated to me. Then he said: My beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed me that among the jinn there are three brothers: this one is the eldest, the second has a very large group, and the third is weak and feeble.
