Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Tufail (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that one of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: So many excellent qualities are combined in Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that if even one of these qualities were distributed among the people, it would be exceedingly vast in terms of goodness.
