Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 2657 — I wanted to meet Sayyiduna Ali but did

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ التِّنِّيسِيُّ، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ شَدَّادٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْقَعِ اللَّيْثِيُّ: كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ عَلِيًّا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: انْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُوهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَاءَ، فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا، فَأَجْلَسَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَأَدْنَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ حِجْرِهِ، ثُمَّ لَفَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَنِدٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: {إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبُ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا} [الأحزاب: ٣٣] ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي» . قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ: «وَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِي» . قَالَ وَاثِلَةُ: إِنَّهُ لَأَرْجَى مَا أَرْجُوهُ
Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I wanted to meet Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) but did not find him, so Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He has gone to call the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); (wait) until he comes. The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and Sayyiduna Ali came too, and I entered with the two of them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Hasan and Sayyiduna Husayn and seated each of them on his thigh, and drew Sayyidah Fatimah close to his lap, then wrapped his garment over them while I was leaning (to one side), then said: "Allah only intends to remove all impurity from you, O people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly" [Surah al-Ahzab: 33]. Then he said: "These are my family." Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, am I also of your family? He said: "Yes, you too are of my family." Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is the greatest of my hopes.
