It is narrated from an elder of the tribe of Kindah that he said: We were sitting in the gathering of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when the bishop of Najran came to him, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) made room for him to sit. At this a man said to him: O Commander of the Believers! Are you making room for this Christian? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, when these people used to come into the noble presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) too would make room for them."
Imam Ibn Abi Umar recorded this hadith; its chain contains an unnamed (unknown) narrator.
