Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34241 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Abdullah bin Amr bin Hind al-Jamali (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whenever I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for something, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give it to me. And when I remained silent, he would begin with me.
