Musnad Abi Ya'la 292 — I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلًا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْكَعْبَةَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : اجْلِسْ ، فَجَلَسْتُ ، فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيَّ ثُمَّ نَهَضْتُ بِهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ضَعْفِي تَحْتَهُ ، قَالَ : اجْلِسْ ، فَجَلَسْتُ ، فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَلَسَ لِي ، فَقَالَ : اصْعَدْ إِلَى مَنْكِبَيَّ ، ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ نَهَضَ بِي حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي لَوْ شِئْتُ نِلْتُ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ ، وَصَعِدْتُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ صَنَمَ قُرَيْشٍ ، وَهُوَ تِمْثَالُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ ، أَوْ نُحَاسٍ ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُعَالِجُهُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَخَلْفَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَمْكَنْتُ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : هِيهِ هِيهِ ، وَأَنَا أُعَالِجُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : اقْذِفْهُ ، فَقَذَفْتُهُ ، فَتَكَسَّرَ كَمَا تَكَسَّرُ الْقَوَارِيرُ ، ثُمَّ نَزَلْتُ فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَسْعَى حَتَّى اسْتَتَرْنَا بِالْبُيُوتِ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ بِنَا أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) one night until we reached the Ka'bah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Sit down," so I sat down. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) climbed onto my shoulders and I began to rise with him (peace and blessings be upon him), but when he (peace and blessings be upon him) sensed weakness in me, he said: "Sit down," so I sat down. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came down and sat down himself for me and said: "Climb onto my shoulders." So I climbed onto his (peace and blessings be upon him) shoulders and he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up with me, and (by his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessing) I felt that if I wished I could touch the horizon of the sky. Then I climbed onto the roof of the House of Allah. There I saw an idol of Quraysh, which was a statue of a man made of brass or copper. I kept struggling to uproot it from the right and the left, from the front and from behind, until I got hold of it. Meanwhile the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Yes, well done, quickly." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Throw it down." So I hurled it down, and it shattered into pieces as glass vessels shatter. Then I came down and we ran off from there until we hid behind the houses, fearing that someone might see us. After that it (the idol) was never set up there again.
