Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34270 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Umar bin Usayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), or he said: my father, said: "Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) was given three distinctions. For one of them to be given to me would be better for me than red camels. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him his daughter in marriage, from whom he also had children; he (peace and blessings be upon him) had all the doors closed except his door; and on the day of the Battle of Khaybar he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the spear."
