Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34297 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib
٣٤٢٩٧ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن ليث عن مجاهد قال: قال علي: إنه لم يعمل بها أحد قبلي ولا يعمل بها أحد بعدي، كان لي دينار فبعته بعشرة دراهم فكنت إذا ناجيت رسول اللَّه ﷺ تصدقت بدرهم، حتى نفدت ثم تلا هذه الآية: ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا (الَّذِينَ) (١) آمَنُوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً﴾ (٢) [المجادلة: ١٢].
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is a verse such that no one acted upon it before me and no one will act upon it after me. I had a dinar, which I sold for ten dirhams, and whenever I spoke privately with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I gave one dirham in charity, until those dirhams ran out." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "O you who believe, when you wish to speak privately with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), offer some charity before your private talk." [Al-Mujadilah: 12]
