Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 518 — I saw Sayyiduna Ali on the pulpit when a man
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَا لِي أَرَاكَ تَسْتَحِيلُ النَّاسَ اسْتِحَالَةَ الرَّجُلِ إِبِلَهُ ، أَبِعَهْدٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ شَيْئًا رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : وَاللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ ، وَلَا ضَلَلْتُ وَلَا ضُلَّ بِي ، بَلْ عَهْدٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ ، وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى .
Ali bin Rabi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on the pulpit when a man came to him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, what is the matter, that I see you arranging and driving the people just as a man drives his camels? Is this a special covenant and instruction from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it some thought and opinion of your own?" Upon this Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! I have never lied, nor have I been told a lie; I have not strayed from the path of truth, nor has anyone led me astray. Rather, it is a covenant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which he (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted to me. And indeed, whoever fabricates a lie has failed."
