Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34238 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Sa'd bin Ubaydah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): Tell me about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: When you want to ask anything about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), then look at his house, right next to the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is his house, and this is the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The man said: But I hate him! He said: Then may Allah hate you too.
