Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) had eighteen virtues (manaqib); had he had only one of them, it alone would have sufficed for his salvation; and thirteen of these virtues were such as no other individual of this Ummah possessed."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Hakim bin Jubayr except Isra'il, and no one narrated it from Isra'il except Hafs bin Rashid; Ja'far bin Marwan al-Simmari is alone in narrating it."
