Hadith 12327
عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا شَيْئًا نَقْرَؤُهُ إِلَّا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةَ صَحِيفَةٌ فِيهَا أَسْنَانُ الْإِبْلِ وَأَشْيَاءُ مِنَ الْجِرَاحَاتِ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ قَالَ وَفِيهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْرٍ إِلَى ثَوْرٍ فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَدْلًا وَلَا صَرْفًا وَمَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ يَسْعَى بِهَا أَدْنَاهُمْ“
Ibrahim Taimi narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon and said: Whoever thinks that we possess anything of the religion besides Allah’s Book and this scroll is lying, in this scroll there is mention of the ages of the camels for zakat and some issues of retribution, and it is also written in this scroll that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Medina is a sanctuary from ‘Air to Thawr. Whoever introduces an innovation in it or gives refuge to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Allah will not accept from him any obligatory or supererogatory worship on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever attributes himself to anyone other than his real father or masters, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Allah will not accept from him any obligatory or supererogatory worship on the Day of Resurrection. The protection of all Muslims is one, even the lowest among the Muslims can grant protection (i.e., can give refuge to someone).”
Hadith 12328
عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَاللَّهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةَ مُعَلَّقَةً بِسَيْفِهِ أَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا فَرَائِضُ الصَّدَقَةِ مُعَلَّقَةً بِسَيْفٍ لَهُ حِلْيَتُهُ حَدِيدٌ أَوْ قَالَ بَكَرَاتُهُ حَدِيدٌ أَيْ حَلَقُهُ
It is narrated from Tariq bin Shihab, he says: I was with Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, he was saying on the pulpit: By Allah! We have no book or writing except the Book of Allah, which we read before you people, and there is this scroll, which is hanging with the sword. About it, he said: I took this scroll from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in it is mentioned the ages of the animals for Zakat. The scroll which was hanging with the sword had rings of iron.
Hadith 12329
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْوَحْيِ أَوْ قَالَ كِتَابٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا مَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَهَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ الْمَقْرُونَةِ بِسَيْفِي وَعَلَيْهِ سَيْفٌ حِلْيَتُهُ حَدِيدٌ وَفِيهَا فَرَائِضُ الصَّدَقَاتِ
(Second chain) Tariq bin Shihab says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon to us and said: We have nothing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in writing, nor anything separate from revelation, except what is in the Book of Allah and in this scroll which is attached to my sword. At that time, he had a sword with iron rings, and in that scroll was a statement regarding the ages of the animals for zakat.
Hadith 12330
عَنْ حَبَّةَ الْعُرَنِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ضَحِكَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لَمْ أَرَهُ ضَحِكَ ضَحِكًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ظَهَرَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَأَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نُصَلِّي بِبَطْنِ نَخْلَةَ فَقَالَ مَاذَا تَصْنَعَانِ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ مَا بِالَّذِي تَصْنَعَانِ بَأْسٌ أَوْ بِالَّذِي تَقُولَانِ بَأْسٌ وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لَا تَعْلُونِي إِسْتِي أَبَدًا وَضَحِكَ تَعَجُّبًا لِقَوْلِ أَبِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا أَعْتَرِفُ أَنَّ عَبْدًا لَكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَبَدَكَ قَبْلِي غَيْرَ نَبِيِّكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ النَّاسُ سَبْعًا
Habbah ‘Urani says: I saw Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on the pulpit laughing heartily; I had never seen him laugh so much before. He laughed so hard that his molar teeth became visible, and then he said: I remembered the words of Abu Talib. I was performing prayer with Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the valley of Nakhlah when Abu Talib came. He said: Nephew! What are you both doing? Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) invited him to Islam. He said: There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, but by Allah! My buttocks will never be raised above me. Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) laughed in amazement at his father’s words. After that, he said: O Allah, I do not know that, in this Ummah, before Your Prophet, any of Your servants worshipped You before me. He repeated this statement three times. Long before people started praying, I performed prayers. He repeated this statement seven times.1
! Or it means that before people started praying, I performed prayers for seven days, after which others became Muslim. (Abdullah Rafiq)

Hadith 12331
أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَوْ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ يَعَضُّ الْمُوسِرُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ قَالَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَلَا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ} [البقرة: 237] وَيَنْهَدُ الْأَشْرَارُ وَيُسْتَذَلُّ الْأَخْيَارُ وَيُبَايِعُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ قَالَ وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ
It is narrated from an elder of Banu Tamim, who says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon to us and said: A time of such hardship will come upon people that the prosperous will become extremely stingy with their possessions, even though they have not been commanded to do so; rather, Allah Almighty has said: { وَلَا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَیْنَکُمْ} … , and he also said: And evil people will be honored, good people will be humiliated, and people will take advantage of others’ hardships by buying and selling from them, even though the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling by taking advantage of someone’s compulsion, selling by deception, and selling fruits before they have ripened.
Hadith 12332
عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ قَالَ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ بَلَغَتْ مِيَاهَ بَنِي عَامِرٍ لَيْلًا نَبَحَتِ الْكِلَابُ قَالَتْ أَيُّ مَاءٍ هَذَا قَالُوا مَاءُ الْحَوْأَبِ قَالَتْ مَا أَظُنُّنِي إِلَّا أَنِّي رَاجِعَةٌ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهَا بَلْ تَقْدَمِينَ فَيَرَاكِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَيُصْلِحُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ذَاتَ بَيْنِهِمْ قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ”كَيْفَ بِإِحْدَاكُنَّ تَنْبَحُ عَلَيْهَا كِلَابُ الْحَوْأَبِ“
It is narrated from Qais that when Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reached the waters of Banu Amir (while traveling from Madinah Munawwarah to Basra), dogs began to bark. She asked: What place is this? The people replied: This is the place of the waters of Haw'ab. She said: I think I should turn back, but some of her fellow travelers said: Now do not turn back, rather proceed further, perhaps the Muslims will see you and Allah Almighty will bring about reconciliation among them through you. She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once said to us: What will be the state of one of you when the dogs of Haw'ab bark at her?
Hadith 12333
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ”إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ أَمْرٌ“ قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”نَعَمْ“ قَالَ أَنَا قَالَ ”نَعَمْ“ قَالَ فَأَنَا أَشْقَاهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”لَا وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى مَأْمَنِهَا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him: Soon there will be a dispute between you and Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: O Messenger of Allah! Will it be me? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes. He asked again: O Messenger of Allah! Will it be me? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Then I will be the most unfortunate of all. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: No, it is not so. Just when such a situation arises, ensure that Aisha reaches her place of safety.
