Hadith 34304
٣٤٣٠٤ - حدثنا الفضل بن دكين عن ابن أبي (غنية) (١) عن الحكم عن سعيد ابن جبير عن ابن عباس (عن بريدة) (٢) قال: مررت مع علي إلى اليمن فرأيت منه جفوة، فلما قدمت على رسول اللَّه ﷺ ذكرت عليًا (فتنقصته) (٣)، فجعل وجه رسول اللَّه ﷺ يتغير، فقال: "ألست أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم؟ " قلت: بلى يا رسول اللَّه، قال: "من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه" (٤).
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went to Yemen to fight along with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). So I noticed some excess in him. When I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I mentioned Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and described his fault. Upon this, the color of the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed, and he said: Am I not more entitled to the believers than their own selves? I said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! Certainly. He said: Whoever I am a friend to, then Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is also his friend.
