It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that people complained about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: O people! Do not complain about Ali. He is very strict regarding Allah's essence or in the way of Allah Almighty.

Sayyiduna Amr ibn Shas Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, who was among the Companions of Hudaybiyyah, narrates: He says, I went towards Yemen in the company of Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. During the journey, he was somewhat harsh with me, which caused me great discomfort in my heart. When I returned, I openly complained about him in the mosque. This matter reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. One day, I entered the mosque in the morning, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting with his Companions. When he saw me, he fixed his gaze upon me. Then, when I sat down, he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O Amr! By Allah! You have caused me pain. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I seek refuge with Allah from causing you any harm. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes, whoever has hurt Ali has in fact caused me pain.

It is narrated from Abu Hassan that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would order someone to do a task, after completing it, people would come and say, “We have done that task.” Upon hearing this, he would say: “Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) have spoken the truth.” Ashtar said to him: “This statement of yours has now become common among the people. If Allah’s Messenger has said something to you, then please state it.” Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything to me specifically, apart from the general people, except for one thing which I heard from him, and it is written and present in the sheath of my sword.” The people insisted on it until he took out that writing. It was written in it: “Whoever initiates a bid’ah (innovation) or gives refuge to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Neither his obligatory nor his voluntary worship will be accepted.” And it was also written in it: “Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared Makkah as sacred, and I declare Madinah Munawwarah as a sanctuary; the entire area between its two fields is sacred. Its pasture grass should not be cut, its game should not be chased away, and its lost property should not be picked up except by one who will announce it. (He may pick it up.) None of its trees should be cut, except that a man may feed leaves to his camel. Weapons should not be raised in it for fighting.” In that document, it was also written: “The blood of the Muslims is equal. Even the lowest among them can grant protection. They are united and a single group against the disbelievers. A believer will not be killed in exchange for a disbeliever, nor will a dhimmi be killed during his covenant.”
