Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32569 — Reports on talk about rulers

Abdullah bin Shaddad said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to me: Shall I not tell you something astonishing? Then he began to say: One day I was in my house and had lain down on my bed for the midday nap. I was told that there was a man at the door. I said: This man must have come at this time only for some need; send him in. He said: He came in. He said: I said: What need have you come for? He said: When will that man be raised from the grave? I said: Which man? He said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: He will be raised from the grave only when Allah Almighty raises those in the graves. He said: He began to say: Do you also say what these foolish people say? I said: Put this man out from my presence.
