حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الرَّجُلُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ رَاكِعٌ ، وَقَالَ : إِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا اللهَ ، وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَادْعُوا اللهَ ، فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from reciting the Noble Qur'an while bowing, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you bow, proclaim the greatness and majesty of Allah, and when you prostrate, supplicate to Allah abundantly, for it (the state of prostration) is most worthy of your supplication being answered."
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : مَا سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ لِأَحَدٍ ، إِلَّا سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ : ارْمِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I never heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combine his parents (as a ransom) for anyone except Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him). I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say to him on the day of Uhud: 'Shoot, may my father and mother be ransomed for you.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ ، أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ مَاتَ ، فَقَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ ، وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي ، فَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : اغْتَسِلْ ، وَعَلَّمَنِي دَعَوَاتٍ ، هُنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abu Talib died, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Your old, misguided uncle has died." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and bury him, and do not do anything else until you come back to me." So I did as he (peace and blessings be upon him) had commanded me, then I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Take a bath (ghusl)," and he taught me some supplications that are dearer to me than (a fortune of) red camels.
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَصَمُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ السُّدِّيَّ ، يَقُولُ : عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ ، أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ قَدْ مَاتَ ، قَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَوَارِهِ ، وَلَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي ، قَالَ : فَوَارَيْتُهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَاغْتَسِلْ ، وَلَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي ، قَالَ : فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ ، فَدَعَا لِي بِدَعَوَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ أَوْ سُودَهَا ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ إِذَا غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا اغْتَسَلَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abu Talib passed away, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Your old uncle has died." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and bury him, and do not do anything new until you come back to me." He said: So I buried him and then came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and take a bath (ghusl), and do not do anything until you come back to me again." He said: Then I took a bath and came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) made such supplications for me that receiving red or black camels in exchange for them would not have pleased me as much. Al-Suddi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whenever Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) washed a dead person, he would take a bath himself.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا .
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 Allah, bless my Ummah in the early part of its day (the early hours of the morning)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَى عَلِيًّا ، رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِشَهْرٍ أَصُومُهُ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا سَأَلَ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ رَجُلٍ سَمِعْتُهُ يَسْأَلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنْ كُنْتَ صَائِمًا شَهْرًا بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ ، فَصُمِ الْمُحَرَّمَ ، فَإِنَّهُ شَهْرُ اللهِ ، وَفِيهِ يَوْمٌ تَابَ اللهُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ ، وَيُتَابُ فِيهِ عَلَى آخَرِينَ .
It is narrated from al-Nu'man bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Commander of the Believers, tell me of a month in which I may fast after Ramadan." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You have asked me about something I have never heard anyone ask about except one man, whom I heard asking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) this very question, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'If you wish to fast a month after Ramadan, then fast Muharram, for it is the month of Allah. In it there is a day on which Allah Almighty accepted the repentance of a people, and on that same day He will accept the repentance of others as well.'"
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِشَهْرٍ أَصُومُهُ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنْ كُنْتَ صَائِمًا شَهْرًا بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ ، فَصُمِ الْمُحَرَّمَ ، فَإِنَّهُ شَهْرُ اللهِ ، وَفِيهِ يَوْمٌ تَابَ اللهُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ وَيُتَابُ فِيهِ عَلَى آخَرِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a month after Ramadan in which I may fast." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish to fast a month after Ramadan, then fast Muharram, for it is the month of Allah, and in it there is a day on which Allah Almighty accepted the repentance of a people, and on that same day He will accept the repentance of others as well."
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا يُرَى بُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا ، وَظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا ، فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ : فَلِمَنْ هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : لِمَنْ قَالَ طَيِّبَ الْكَلَامِ ، وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ ، وَأَفْشَى السَّلَامَ ، وَصَلَّى بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in Paradise there are upper chambers whose inside can be seen from the outside and whose outside can be seen from the inside." At this a Bedouin asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for whom are they? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are for the one who adopts gentle and pure speech, feeds others, spreads (the greeting of) peace, and prays at night while people are asleep."
وَبِهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ : إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ سُوقًا مَا فِيهِ بَيْعٌ وَلَا شِرَاءٌ إِلَّا الصُّوَرُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ ، فَإِذَا اشْتَهَى الرَّجُلُ صُورَةً دَخَلَهَا ، قَالَ : وَفِيهَا مَجْمَعٌ لِلْحُورِ الْعِينِ ، قَالَ : يَرْفَعْنَ أَصْوَاتًا لَمْ تَسْمَعِ الْخَلَائِقُ بِمِثْلِهَا ، قَالَ : يَقُلْنَ : نَحْنُ الْخَالِدَاتُ فَلَا نَبِيدُ ، وَنَحْنُ النَّاعِمَاتُ فَلَا نَبْأَسُ ، وَنَحْنُ الرَّاضِيَاتُ فَلَا نَسْخَطُ ، طُوبَى لِمَنْ كَانَ لَنَا وَكُنَّا لَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in Paradise there is a market in which there will be no buying or selling, except for various forms of men and women. When a man desires a form (an appearance), he will enter into it (that is, he will become just as beautiful)." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There will be a gathering place there for the wide-eyed houris." He said: "They will sing in such lofty and melodious voices that creation has never heard the like of them." He said that they will say: "We are the everlasting ones who shall never perish; we are the ones in bliss who shall never suffer hardship; we are the content ones who shall never be displeased. Glad tidings to the one who is for us and for whom we are."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ السَّعْدِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا صَفَرَ ، وَلَا هَامَةَ ، وَلَا يُعْدِي صَحِيحًا سَقِيمٌ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ ، وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ .
Tha'labah bin Yazid al-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no reality to Safar (the supposed ill omen of the month), nor is (taking ill omens from the bird called) hamah valid, and no sick person (by himself) makes a healthy person sick." Tha'labah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said: Did you hear this yourself? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes! My two ears heard it and my two eyes saw him (saying it)."
أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمْزَةُ الزَّيَّاتُ - عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ ، فِي حَدِيثِ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمَّانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا صَفَرَ ، وَلَا هَامَةَ ، وَلَا يُعْدِي صَحِيحًا سَقِيمٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no reality to (the ill omen of) the month of Safar, nor any basis to (the ill omen of) the owl, and no sick person can (by himself, without the command of Allah) make a healthy person sick."
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَلِيَ طَعَامَ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ أَبِي : فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَجَلِ حَوْلَ الْجِفَانِ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ لِعُثْمَانَ : إِنَّ عَلِيًّا يَكْرَهُ هَذَا ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَجَاءَ وَذِرَاعَاهُ مُتَلَطِّخَانِ مِنَ الْخَبَطِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكَ لَكَثِيرُ الْخِلَافِ إِلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أُذَكِّرُ اللهَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيْهِ عَجُزُ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّا مُحْرِمُونَ ، فَأَطْعِمُوهُ أَهْلَ الْحِلِّ ، فَقَامَ رِجَالٌ فَشَهِدُوا ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أُذَكِّرُ اللهَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَ خَمْسَ بَيْضَاتِ نَعَامٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّا مُحْرِمُونَ ، فَأَطْعِمُوهُ أَهْلَ الْحِلِّ ، فَقَامَ رِجَالٌ فَشَهِدُوا ، فَقَامَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَدَخَلَ فُسْطَاطَهُ ، وَظَعَنَ النَّاسُ ، وَتَرَكُوا الطَّعَامَ لِأَهْلِ الْمَاءِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Nawfal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was in charge of the food of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: (During a journey,) it is as if I can still see the partridge meat around the large bowls. Then a man came and said to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) dislikes this (because it is game meat in the state of ihram). So he sent for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came with both his forearms covered in dust (from beating down leaves for the animals). Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "You disagree with us a great deal in our affairs." At this Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I adjure by Allah any man who saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the haunch of a wild ass was presented to him as a gift, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'We are in the state of ihram, so feed it to those who are not in ihram.'" At this several men stood up and testified to it. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I adjure by Allah any man who saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when five ostrich eggs were given to him as a gift, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'We are in the state of ihram, so feed it to those who are not in ihram.'" Again several men stood up and testified to it. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) got up from there and went into his tent, and the other people also departed, leaving that food there for the people at the watering place.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَحْمِ صَيْدٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ، فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Game meat was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of ihram, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat it."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَعُثْمَانُ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَلَمْ يَجْمَعْ بَيْنَهُمَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ أَهَلَّ بِهِمَا ، فَقَالَ : لَبَّيْكَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَحَجٍّ مَعًا ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : تَرَانِي أَنْهَى النَّاسَ وَأَنْتَ تَفْعَلُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : لَمْ أَكُنْ أَدَعُ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِقَوْلِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ .
Marwan bin al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was present with Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) between Makkah and Madinah. At that time Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was forbidding (people) from combining Hajj and Umrah, and he himself was not combining them. When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saw this, he raised the talbiyah for both Hajj and Umrah together and said: 'Labbayka bi-'umratin wa hajjin ma'an' (Here I am, with the intention of both Umrah and Hajj). At this Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said (in surprise): You see that I am stopping people from this act, and you are doing it yourself? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I will never abandon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the word of any person."
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِلْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ : يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَقِيَهُ ، وَيُجِيبُهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ ، وَيُشَمِّتُهُ إِذَا عَطَسَ ، وَيَعُودُهُ إِذَا مَرِضَ ، وَيُشَيِّعُ جِنَازَتَهُ إِذَا مَاتَ ، وَيُحِبُّ لَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim, in the recognised manner: he should greet him with salam when he meets him; accept his invitation when he invites him; respond to him when he sneezes (that is, say 'Yarhamukallah'); visit him when he falls ill; attend his funeral when he dies; and love for his brother what he loves for himself."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ صَنَعَ طَعَامًا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ فَرَأَى فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ ، فَرَجَعَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا رَجَعَكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ ، وَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he prepared some food and invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) came and saw a curtain in the house with pictures on it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) went back (without entering). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), may my father and mother be ransomed for you, what made you turn back?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is a curtain in the house with pictures on it, and indeed the angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَوْبَ حَرِيرٍ ، فَأَعْطَاهُ عَلِيًّا ، فَقَالَ : شَقِّقْهُ خُمُرًا بَيْنَ الْفَوَاطِمِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ukaydir, the ruler of Dumah (al-Jandal), presented a silk garment as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Tear it (into pieces) and distribute it as head-coverings among the Fatimahs (the women of the family named Fatimah)."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَغُرَفًا يُرَى ظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا ، وَبُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا ، فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ : لِمَنْ هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : لِمَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ ، وَأَفْشَى السَّلَامَ ، وَصَلَّى بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in Paradise there are upper chambers whose outside can be seen from the inside and whose inside can be seen from the outside." At this a Bedouin said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for which fortunate people are these lofty dwellings? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are for those who feed (the needy), spread (the greeting of) peace, and pray (Tahajjud) at night while people are enjoying their sleep."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الدُّعَاءُ سِلَاحُ الْمُؤْمِنِ ، وَعِمَادُ الدِّينِ ، وَنُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Supplication is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of the religion, and the light of the heavens and the earth."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ السَّلِيمِيُّ ، عَنِ الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنِ الْفُرَاتِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَلَا يَقُومُ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ ، وَيَقُولُ فِيهِنَّ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : تَمَّ نُورُكَ فَهَدَيْتَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، عَظُمَ حِلْمُكَ فَعَفَوْتَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، رَبَّنَا وَجْهُكَ أَكْرَمُ الْوُجُوهِ ، وَجَاهُكَ أَعْظَمُ الْجَاهِ ، وَعَطِيَّتُكَ أَفْضَلُ الْعَطِيَّةِ وَأَهْنَؤُهَا ، تُطَاعُ رَبَّنَا فَتَشْكُرُ ، وَتُعْصَى رَبَّنَا فَتَغْفِرُ ، وَتُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ ، وَتَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ ، وَتَشْفِي السَّقِيمَ ، وَتَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ ، وَتَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ ، وَلَا يَجْزِي بِآلَائِكَ أَحَدٌ ، وَلَا يَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ قَوْلُ قَائِلٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Will none of you stand and pray four (voluntary) rak'ahs before Asr, and say in them the words that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'Tamma nuruka fa-hadayta, fa-lakal-hamd; 'azuma hilmuka fa-'afawta, fa-lakal-hamd; basatta yadaka fa-a'tayta, fa-lakal-hamdu rabbana; wajhuka akramul-wujuh, wa jahuka a'zamul-jah, wa 'atiyyatuka afdalul-'atiyyati wa ahna'uha; tuta'u rabbana fa-tashkur, wa tu'sa rabbana fa-taghfir, wa tujibul-mudtarr, wa takshifud-durr, wa tashfis-saqim, wa taghfirudh-dhanb, wa taqbalut-tawbah, wa la yajzi bi-ala'ika ahad, wa la yablughu midhataka qawlu qa'il' ((O Allah,) Your light was perfected, so You guided, so all praise is Yours; Your forbearance is immense, so You pardoned, so all praise is Yours; You spread out Your hand (of generosity), so You gave (abundantly), so to You belongs all thanks, O our Lord; Your Being is the most noble, Your standing is the greatest, and Your gift is the best and most pleasant of gifts. O our Lord, You are obeyed and You show appreciation; You are disobeyed and You forgive; You answer the one in distress, remove harm, cure the sick, forgive sin and accept repentance. No one can repay Your favours, and the words of no speaker can reach (the full measure of) Your praise)."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ إِذَا مَرَّتْ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ أَحَدُهُمْ ، وَيُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْقُعُودِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ أَحَدُهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a group of people is passing by somewhere, it is sufficient on behalf of the whole group that one of them gives the greeting of salam; and likewise, it is sufficient on behalf of all those sitting that one of them returns the greeting."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : صَوْمُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ ، وَثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ ، وَيُذْهِبُ وَهِيَ الصَّدْرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fasting the month of patience (Ramadan) and fasting three days of every month is equivalent to fasting for a lifetime, and this practice removes the impurity of the breast and inner rancour and resentment."
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ حُلَّةٌ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ ، قَالَ : فَكَسَانِيهَا ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَرْضَى لَكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِي ، فَأَمَرَنِي ، فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي : فَاطِمَةَ ، وَعَمَّتِهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a silk robe was presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to me. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went out wearing it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (on seeing me): "I do not approve for you what I dislike for myself." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me, and I tore that garment and divided it among my women, namely Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and her paternal aunt.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ : قَدْ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ الْجِزْيَةَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَأَنَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) collected jizyah from the Magians, and so did Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and so have I (collected jizyah from them)."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي النَّضْرُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا جَاءَ حَتَّى صَعِدَ ، فَحَمِدَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَضَاءٌ قَضَاهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ ؛ أَنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّنِي إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ ، وَلَا يُبْغِضُنِي إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ ، وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّضْرُ : وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَنَا أَخُو رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَابْنُ عَمِّهِ ، لَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي .
Al-Harith al-Hamdani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) come until he ascended (the pulpit); then he praised and extolled Allah Almighty and said: "This is a decree that Allah Almighty issued on the tongue of your Prophet, the unlettered Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'None but a believer will love me, and none but a hypocrite will hate me; and indeed, the one who fabricates lies has failed.'" Al-Nadr (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his cousin; no one after me will say this (truthfully)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ حَبَّةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ ، وَأَسْلَمْتُ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent (as a Prophet) on Monday, and I accepted Islam on Tuesday."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَجْلَحُ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ حَبَّةَ بْنِ جُوَيْنٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا عَبَدَ اللهَ قَبْلِي ، لَقَدْ عَبَدْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْبُدَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ ، أَوْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I do not know of anyone in this Ummah, after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who worshipped Allah Almighty before me. I worshipped Him five or seven years before any of them worshipped Allah."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا كِتَابُ اللهِ وَهَذِهِ - يَعْنِي الصَّحِيفَةَ - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this (that is, this scroll)," which is transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْأَسَدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجُلَّاسِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ السَّبَائِيِّ : وَيْلَكَ ، وَاللهِ مَا أَفْضَى إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ كَتَمَهُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ ثَلَاثِينَ كَذَّابًا ، وَإِنَّكَ لَأَحَدُهُمْ .
Abu al-Jullas (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say to Abdullah al-Saba'i: "Woe to you! By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not confide to me any (secret) matter that he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept hidden from other people. Rather, I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, before the Hour there will be thirty great liars (troublemakers),' and you are certainly one of them."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ .
Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated to us, through Muhammad bin al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him), with his chain, something similar to this.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ : هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ سِوَى كِتَابِ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ ، مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ سِوَى كِتَابِ اللهِ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْتِيَ اللهُ رَجُلًا فَهْمًا فِي هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ ، وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ : الْعَقْلُ ، وَفَكَاكُ الْأَسِيرِ ، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you have any (special) knowledge from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) other than the Book of Allah?" He replied: "No, by the One who split the seed and created the soul! We have nothing except the Book of Allah, apart from the understanding of the Qur'an that Allah Almighty grants to a person, and apart from what is written in this scroll." I asked: "What is in this scroll?" He said: "The rulings on blood money (diyah), the freeing of captives, and that a Muslim is not to be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أُثَيْعٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ بُعِثْتَ ؟ قَالَ : بُعِثْتُ بِأَرْبَعٍ : أَلَّا يَطُوفَنَّ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْحَرَمَ مُشْرِكٌ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدٌ فَهُوَ إِلَى مُدَّتِهِ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَهْدٌ فَلَهُ أَجَلٌ ، أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ .
قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : كَذَا قَالَ : زَيْدُ بْنُ أُثَيْعٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ ابْنُ يُثَيْعٍ .
قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : كَذَا قَالَ : زَيْدُ بْنُ أُثَيْعٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ ابْنُ يُثَيْعٍ .
Zayd bin Uthay' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "With what orders were you sent (at the time of Hajj)?" He said: "I was sent to proclaim four things: that no naked person shall ever circumambulate the House; that no polytheist shall enter the Sanctuary; that whoever has a (peace) treaty with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it shall remain in force until its appointed term, and whoever has no treaty is given a respite of four months; and that none shall enter Paradise except a believing soul." Zuhayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He said it like this, "Zayd bin Uthay'", whereas he is actually Ibn Yuthay'.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَوْصِلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ خِدَاشٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، عَنِ الْأَزْهَرِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ الْكَاهِلِيِّ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودٍ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَزْهَرُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنِ الْخَضِرِ بْنِ الْقَوَّاسِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُخَيْلَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لَنَا عَلِيٌّ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ .
وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْجُمَحِيِّ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُخَيْلَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلِ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سَأُفَسِّرُهَا لَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ ، مَا أَصَابَكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ أَوْ عُقُوبَةٍ فَاللهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُثَنِّيَ عَلِيكُمُ الْعُقُوبَةَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، وَمَا عَفَا عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، فَاللهُ أَحْلَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَعُودَ بَعْدَ عَفْوِهِ .
وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْجُمَحِيِّ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُخَيْلَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلِ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سَأُفَسِّرُهَا لَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ ، مَا أَصَابَكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ أَوْ عُقُوبَةٍ فَاللهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُثَنِّيَ عَلِيكُمُ الْعُقُوبَةَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، وَمَا عَفَا عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، فَاللهُ أَحْلَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَعُودَ بَعْدَ عَفْوِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Shall I not tell you of the most excellent verse in the Book of Allah, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told me about?" (Then he recited this verse): "And whatever calamity befalls you is because of what your own hands have earned, and He pardons much." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Ali, I will explain this verse to you: whatever trial, illness or punishment befalls you in this world, Allah Almighty is far too generous to repeat that punishment upon you in the Hereafter; and whatever (fault) He has pardoned in this world, Allah Almighty is far too forbearing to return to it (and take you to account) after His pardon." In the wording of this hadith's chain there is a minor technical difference between the narrators Mahmud bin Khidash and Abd al-Rahman bin Sallam.
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ ، صَاحِبِ الرُّمَّانِ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، وَقَدْ وَرِمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَلَا تُخْرِجُوهُ عَنْهُ ؟ قَالَ : فَبُطَّ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاهِدٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that we went with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to visit a man of the Ansar who had developed a swelling (in some part of his body). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you not draw it (the matter of the swelling) out of him?" The narrator said: Then the swelling was lanced while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself was present, watching.
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُورُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَكْرِمُوا عَمَّتَكُمُ النَّخْلَةَ ، فَإِنَّهَا خُلِقَتْ مِنَ الطِّينِ الَّذِي خُلِقَ مِنْهُ آدَمُ ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ يُلَقَّحُ غَيْرُهَا .
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَطْعِمُوا نِسَاءَكُمُ الْوُلَّدَ الرُّطَبَ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رُطَبٌ فَالتَّمْرُ ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ نَزَلَتْ تَحْتَهَا مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ .
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَطْعِمُوا نِسَاءَكُمُ الْوُلَّدَ الرُّطَبَ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رُطَبٌ فَالتَّمْرُ ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ نَزَلَتْ تَحْتَهَا مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Honour your aunt, the date palm, for it was created from the same clay from which Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) was created, and there is no other tree besides it that is pollinated by the joining of male and female (as with humans)." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Feed your women who have just given birth fresh ripe dates, and if fresh dates are not available, then ordinary dates, for there is no tree more honoured in the sight of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, than the tree beneath which Sayyidah Maryam bint Imran (may Allah be pleased with her) stayed."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو عَطَاءً ، عَنْ عَائِشِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، قُلْتُ لِعَمَّارٍ : سَلْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَذْيِ ، فَإِنَّ ابْنَتَهُ تَحْتِي ، وَإِنِّي أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ ، فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا وَجَدَ ذَاكَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that, while narrating hadith to the people on the pulpit, he said: "I said to Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him): 'Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on my behalf about madhi (pre-seminal fluid), for his (peace and blessings be upon him) daughter is married to me and I feel too shy to ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) (directly).' So he asked him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When one finds it, he should perform ablution.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَذْيِ ؟ فَقَالَ : فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ ، وَيَغْسِلُهُ ، وَفِي الْمَنِيِّ الْغُسْلُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about madhi (pre-seminal fluid), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For it, ablution and washing (the affected place) are required, while for the emission of semen a ritual bath (ghusl) is obligatory."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُنْذِرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً ، فَاسْتَحْيَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَذْيِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِلْمِقْدَادِ : سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَذْيِ ، قَالَ : فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ .
Muhammad bin al-Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was a man who had frequent madhi (pre-seminal fluid), and I felt shy to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, so I told Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the ruling on madhi. So he asked him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'For it, ablution is required.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسْنَاءِ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُضَحِّيَ عَنْهُ بِكَبْشَيْنِ ، فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَفْعَلَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to sacrifice two rams on his (peace and blessings be upon him) behalf, so I love to keep doing this (regularly)."
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ سُوَرٍ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ، وَإِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَإِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْعَصْرُ، وَإِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ، وَإِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرُ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَتَبَّتْ، وَقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the witr prayer with nine surahs: (in this order) in the first rak'ah Surah al-Takathur, Surah al-Qadr and Surah al-Zalzalah; in the second rak'ah Surah al-Asr, Surah al-Nasr and Surah al-Kawthar; and in the third rak'ah Surah al-Kafirun, Surah al-Masad and Surah al-Ikhlas."
