Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered all the doors (opening into the mosque) to be closed, except the door of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, you have had all the doors closed except the door of Ali?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not I who closed your doors; rather, Allah closed them."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Hakam except Mu'awiyah bin Maysarah; Suwayd bin Sa'id is alone in narrating it."
