مُوسَى بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ سَابِطٍ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي بَعْضِ حَجَّاتِهِ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ فَذَكَرُوا عَلِيًّا فَنَالَ مِنْهُ ، فَغَضِبَ سَعْدٌ ، وَقَالَ : تَقُولُ هَذَا لِرَجُلٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ " ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي " ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Sa`d bin Waqqas said:` "Mu`awiyah came on one of his pilgrimages and Sa`d entered upon him. They mentioned `Ali, and Mu`awiyah criticized him. Sa`d became angry and said: 'Are you saying this of a man of whom I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "If I am a person's close friend, `Ali is also his close friend." And I heard him say: "You are to me like Harun was to Musa, except that there will be no Prophet after me." And I heard him say: "I will give the banner today to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger."
