Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding my hand and we were walking through one of the streets of Madinah, when we came to a garden. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful this garden is! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For you there is a garden in Paradise finer than this. Then we passed another garden, and I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, how beautiful this garden is! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For you there is a garden in Paradise finer than this. This went on until we had passed seven gardens; about each one I said the same: How beautiful it is! And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying: For you in Paradise there is one more beautiful than this. When the road was clear for me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced me and then began to weep. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, why are you weeping? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Because of the enmity that will be in the hearts of some people, which they will reveal to you after me. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, will my religion remain safe in that? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Your religion will remain safe.
Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains al-Fadl bin Umayrah, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy) and others declared da'if (weak); the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
