٣٤٢٦٢ - حدثنا شريك عن أبي إسحاق (١) زيد بن يثيع قال: بلغ عليًا أن أناسًا يقولون فيه، قال: فصعد المنبر فقال: أنشد اللَّه رجلًا ولا أنشده إلا من أصحاب محمد ﷺ سمع من النبي ﷺ شيئًا إلا قام، فقام مما يليه ستة ومما يلي (سعيد) (٢) بن وهب ستة، فقالوا: نشهد أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه، اللهم وال من والاه وعاد من عاداه" (٣).
Hazrat Zaid bin Yathi’ narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) received news that some people were saying certain things about him. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) ascended the pulpit and said: I adjure by Allah any companion of Muhammad (ﷺ) who heard anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) about me, let him stand up. So about six people stood up, and among them was Hazrat Sa’eed bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) as the sixth. Then all of them said: We bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever I am a friend to, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also his friend. O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends him, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him.
