Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34250 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Abu Sulayman al-Juhani (may Allah have mercy on him), that is, Zayd bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him), said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say on the pulpit: "I am the servant of Allah and the brother of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). No one said this before me, and no one will say it after me except a liar."
