Musnad Abi Ya'la 485 — Sayyiduna Ali related that the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ أَشْقَى الْأَوَّلِينَ ؟ قُلْتُ : عَاقِرُ النَّاقَةِ ، قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَمَنْ أَشْقَى الْآخِرِينَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا عِلْمَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : الَّذِي يَضْرِبُكَ عَلَى هَذِهِ ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى يَافُوخِهِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : وَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاكُمْ فَخَضَّبَ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دَمِ رَأْسِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "Who was the most wretched of the earlier peoples?" I said: The one who hamstrung the she-camel (of Sayyiduna Salih, peace be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have spoken the truth. Then tell me, who is the most wretched of the later peoples?" I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who will strike you here," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his blessed hand to the top of his head. And Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) often used to say: "I wish that the most wretched of you would rise up and dye this with this," that is, (he meant) that the blood of his head would dye his beard.
