حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَشْوَعَ ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ الْكِنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَنَّهُ دَعَا صَاحِبَ شُرْطَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقْ فَلَا تَدَعْ قَبْرًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ ، وَلَا زُخْرُفًا إِلَّا وَضَعْتَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرِي فِيمَا بَعَثْتُكَ ؟ بَعَثْتُكَ فِيمَا بَعَثَنِي فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he summoned his chief of police and instructed him: "Go, and do not leave any grave (raised above the ground) without levelling it, nor any decoration or (raised) ornamentation without effacing it." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Do you know on what mission I have sent you? I have sent you for the very task for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me."
