Musnad Abi Ya'la 586 — I saw Sayyiduna Ali when a mount was brought
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ ، فَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ ، قَالَ : بِسْمِ اللهِ ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى عَلَيْهَا ، قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَضْحَكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مِمَّ اسْتَضْحَكْتَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمًا مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتُ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَضْحَكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مِمَّ اسْتَضْحَكْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : تَعَجَّبَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ قَوْلِ عَبْدِهِ : سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، قَالَ : عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ .
It is narrated from Ali bin Rabi'ah al-Asadi (may Allah have mercy on him) that I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when a mount was brought to him. When he put his foot in the stirrup, he said 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah). Then when he had settled upright on its back, he said 'Al-hamdu lillah' (All praise is for Allah). Then he recited this verse: "Glory be to the One who has subjected this to us, though we were not able to control it, and indeed to our Lord we shall surely return." Then he said Allahu akbar three times, then recited this supplication: 'Subhanaka inni zalamtu nafsi faghfir li innahu la yaghfiru al-dhunuba illa anta' (Glory be to You, O Allah; indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You). After this he smiled, so I said: Why did you smile? He said: "Indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also did one day just as I have done, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, so I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), at what did you smile? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Our Lord marvels (in a manner befitting His majesty, without asking how) at His servant's saying: "Subhanaka inni zalamtu nafsi faghfir li innahu la yaghfiru al-dhunuba illa anta" (Glory be to You; indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You), and Allah Almighty says: "My servant has come to know that he has a Lord who forgives sins."'"
