The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that she said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Ali is with the Qur'an and the Qur'an is with Ali; the two will not separate from each other until they come to me at the Pool (al-Hawd)."
This hadith is not narrated from Thabit, the freed slave of Abu Dharr (may Allah have mercy on him), except with this chain, and Salih bin Abi al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
