(سِرٌّ بَيْنَ حَضْرَةِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(A private conversation with Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 6097
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا يَوْمَ الطَّائِفِ فَانْتَجَاهُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: لَقَدْ طَالَ نَجْوَاهُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا انْتَجَيْتُهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ انْتَجَاهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Jabir said: "On the day God's messenger sent `Ali to at-Ta'if he called him and spoke in private to him." The people said, "He has had a long private conversation with his cousin," and God's messenger replied "It was not I but God who had a private conversation with him." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
