Ziyad bin Mutarrif narrated, on the authority of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him),
this report, and sometimes he did not mention Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) in it. He narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would like to live as I live, die as I die, and dwell in the Garden of Eternity which my Lord promised me, whose branches He planted with His own Hand, should take Ali bin Abi Talib as his wali, for he will never lead you out of guidance, and he will never lead you into misguidance."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Yahya bin Ya'la al-Aslami, who is da'if (weak).
