Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 418 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Ali, say
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا عَلِيُّ ، قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي ، وَسَدِّدْنِي ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ ، قَالَ : وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَضَعَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ، وَنَهَانِي عَنِ الْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : فَقُلْنَا لِعَلِيٍّ : مَا الْقَسِّيَّةُ ؟ قَالَ : ثِيَابُ الشَّامِ ، وَمِصْرَ ، مُضَلَّعَةٌ ، فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ ، قَالَ : وَالْمِيثَرَةُ : شَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَمْثَالُ الْقَطَائِفِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ali, say: 'Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni' (O Allah, guide me and keep me steadfast on the right path). When asking for guidance, keep in mind being guided along a road, and when asking for 'sadad' (rightness), keep in mind straightening an arrow on its target." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on the index finger and the middle finger, and he also forbade me from using 'qassiyyah' (striped silk garments) and 'mithrah' (a soft silk saddle-cover). Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): What is 'qassiyyah'? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They were garments made in Syria and Egypt which had stripes shaped like citrons (utrujj)," and he said that "mithrah" was something that women used to make for their husbands, like velvet cloth (to place on saddles and the like).
