Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34235 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Zirr bin Hubaysh (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By the One who split the seed and brought man into being, the Unlettered Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a covenant that only a believer will love me, and only a hypocrite will hate me.
