Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3942 — The virtues of Ali

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، ثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصُّهْبَانِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : طَلَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَنِي فِي جَدْوَلٍ نَائِمًا ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قُمْ ، مَا أَلْأَمَ النَّاسَ ؛ يُسَمُّونَكَ أَبَا تُرَابٍ .
قَالَ : فَرَآنِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَاكَ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قُمْ ، وَاللهِ لَأُرْضِيَنَّكَ ، أَنْتَ أَخِي ، وَأَبُو وَلَدَيَّ ، تُقَاتِلُ عَنْ سُنَّتِي ، وَتُبْرِئُ ذِمَّتِي ، مَنْ مَاتَ فِي عَهْدِي فَهُوَ أَسِيرُ اللهِ تَعَالَى ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي عَهْدِكَ فَقَدْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُحِبُّكَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ خَتَمَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ بِالْأَمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ مَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ أَوْ غَرَبَتْ ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُبْغِضُكَ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً ، وَحُوسِبَ بِمَا عَمِلَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) searched for me and found me sleeping in a small channel. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Get up. How mean-spirited people are, that they call you Abu Turab (the one covered in dust)!" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at me and it seemed as if some grief had arisen in my heart because of this, so he (peace and blessings be upon him), consoling me, said: "Stand up. By Allah! I will certainly make you pleased. You are my brother and the father of my two sons; you will fight for the sake of my sunnah and you will fulfil the obligations that are upon me. Whoever dies in my lifetime is the captive of Allah; whoever dies in your era 'has fulfilled his vow' [Surah al-Ahzab: 23]; and whoever dies loving you after your death, Allah Almighty will seal his end with security and faith for as long as the sun rises or sets; and whoever dies hating you dies the death of Jahiliyyah, and he will be held to account even for the deeds he did while in Islam."
The chain of this narration contains narrators such as Suwayd bin Sa'id and Zakariyya bin Abdullah al-Suhbani, who are da'if (weak) and munkar al-hadith (their narrations are rejected), on account of which this narration is, by scholarly and technical standards, severely weak or munkar (rejected).
