Hadith 8466

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ نِسَائِهِ قَالَ فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَانْقَطَعَتْ نَعْلُهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْصِفُهَا فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَضَيْنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ يَنْتَظِرُهُ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ كَمَا قَاتَلَ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ فَاسْتَشْرَفْنَا وَفِينَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ خَاصِفُ النَّعْلِ قَالَ فَجِئْنَا نُبَشِّرُهُ قَالَ وَكَأَنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting waiting for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he came out to us from the house of one of his wives. We stood up with him. His sandal broke, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed behind to repair it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued walking and we walked with him. Then he stood waiting for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and we also stood with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some of you will fight according to the interpretation and explanation of this Noble Qur'an, just as I have fought. We raised our necks to see, for among us were also Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather it is this man, the one repairing the sandal. So we went to give glad tidings to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but it was as if he had already heard the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (so he did not express happiness).

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu fought alongside the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam against the disbelievers, then during his own caliphate, in accordance with the prophecy of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he fought against the Khawarij. In the same way, Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu was also upon the truth in his opposition to Sayyiduna Muawiyah radi Allahu anhu.
