حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا تُصَلِّ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءَ مُرْتَفِعَةً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not pray after Asr, unless the sun is still white and high."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا فِي جِنَازَةٍ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ، وَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ، وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ فَنَكَّسَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِمِخْصَرَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ، مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَكَانَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ، وَإِلَّا قَدْ كُتِبَتْ شَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً»، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَمْكُثُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ؟ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ؟، فَقَالَ: «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا أَهْلُ السَّعَادَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشِّقْوَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى} [الليل: 6]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related: We were attending a funeral in Baqi' al-Gharqad when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and sat down, and we sat around him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a small stick with him; he (peace and blessings be upon him) lowered his head and began scratching the ground with that stick. Then he said: "There is none among you, nor any soul that has been born, except that Allah Almighty has written its place in Paradise and its place in Hell, and it has also been written whether it is wretched or blessed." Abu Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, should we not rely on what has been written for us and leave off doing deeds? For whoever is among the blessed will incline to the deeds of the blessed, and whoever is among the wretched will incline to the deeds of the wretched? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep doing deeds, for each one is facilitated; as for those who are blessed, the deeds of the blessed are made easy for them, and as for those who are wretched, the deeds of the wretched are made easy for them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: "As for he who gives (in the way of Allah) and fears (Allah), and affirms the best (reward), We will ease him towards ease. But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need, and denies the best (reward), We will ease him towards difficulty."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِأَرْبَعٍ : أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ ، وَيُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ ، وَيُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No servant can be a (complete) believer until he believes in four things: testifying that 'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu' (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone and has no partner), and that 'anni rasulu Allahi ba'athani bi al-haqq' (I am the Messenger of Allah, whom He has sent with the truth), and that he believes in the resurrection after death, and believes in the divine decree (al-qadar)."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ دَجَاجَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ : يَا فَرُّوخُ ، أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ : لَا يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الْأَرْضِ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ ؟ أَخْطَأَتِ اسْتُكَ الْحُفْرَةَ ! إِنَّمَا قَالَ : لَا يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الْأَرْضِ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ مِمَّا هُوَ الْيَوْمَ حَيٌّ ، وَإِنَّمَا رَخَاءُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَفَرَحُهَا بَعْدَ الْمِائَةِ .
Nu'aym bin Dajajah al-Asadi (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that I was with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O Farrukh! Are you the one who says that a hundred years will not pass over the people while any blinking eye (living soul) remains on the earth? You have missed the mark (that is, you erred in understanding the real point of the matter). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) actually said: 'A hundred years will not pass over the people while even a single blinking eye remains alive on the face of the earth of those who are alive today (at this time).' And in fact the era of this Ummah's prosperity and joy will come only after the hundred years."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ ، فَأَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ .
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 Allah Almighty is Witr (One) and He loves the witr (odd), so, O people of the Qur'an, pray the witr."
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."'"
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ظِبْيَانَ ، قَالَ : أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ فَجَرَتْ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُرْجَمَ ، فَمُرَّ بِهَا عَلَى عَلِيٍّ فَعَرَفَهَا ، فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهَا ، فَأُتِيَ عُمَرُ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّ عَلِيًّا أَخَذَهَا مِنْ أَيْدِينَا فَأَرْسَلَهَا ، فَقَالَ : ادْعُوهُ لِي ، فَأَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : لِمَ أَرْسَلْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَدْ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ ، وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ، وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ مَجْنُونَةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ ، وَلَعَلَّ الَّذِي فَجَرَ بِهَا أَتَاهَا وَهِيَ فِي بَلَائِهَا .
Abu Zabyan (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that a woman who had committed adultery was brought to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he ordered that she be stoned. Then, when she was taken past Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he recognised her and set her free. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed: "Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) has taken her from our hands and released her." He said: "Call him to me." When he came, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Why did you release her?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "O Commander of the Believers, by Allah, you know well that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The pen (of accountability) has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the child until he reaches puberty, and from the insane until he recovers.' And the fact is that this is the insane woman of such-and-such a tribe, and most likely the one who did this act with her came to her while she was in that state of her mental affliction and illness."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ الْحِمَّانِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مِمَّا كَانَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيَّ : لَيُخَضَّبَنَّ هَذَا مِنْ دَمِ هَذَا . يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دَمِ رَأْسِهِ .
Tha'labah al-Himmani (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever deliberately lies against me, let him take his seat in the Fire of Hell." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "I testify that among the prophecies that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to indicate to me was this: this will surely be dyed with the blood of this; that is, he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant that the beard of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would be coloured with the blood of his head."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُنْبَذَ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he stated: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade preparing nabidh in gourd vessels and in vessels coated with pitch (tar)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَبُعٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ : وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَتُخْضَبَنَّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دَمِ رَأْسِهِ - قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : وَاللهِ لَا يَقُولُ ذَاكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَبَرْنَا عِتْرَتَهُ ، فَقَالَ : أُذَكِّرُ اللهَ - أَوْ : أَنْشُدُ اللهَ - أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِي إِلَّا قَاتِلِي ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ أَتْرُكُكُمْ إِلَى مَا تَرَكَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالُوا : فَمَا تَقُولُ لِلهِ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : أَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ تَرَكْتَنِي فِيهِمْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ ، ثُمَّ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي ، وَتَرَكْتُكَ فِيهِمْ ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَصْلَحْتَهُمْ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَفْسَدْتَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sabu' (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed us in a sermon and said: "By the One who split the seed and created the soul! This (beard) will surely be dyed with this (blood of the head)." The narrator says: At this a man cried out: By Allah, whoever does such a thing (threatens to kill you), we will wipe out his entire family. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I adjure you by Allah (and I instruct you) that none be killed in retaliation for me except my killer." Then a man said: O Commander of the Believers, will you not appoint your successor? He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "No, rather I am leaving you in the same state in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left you." The people asked: When you meet your Lord, what will you say to Him? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will say: 'Allahumma taraktani fihim ma bada laka, thumma tawaffaytani wa taraktuka fihim, fa in shi'ta aslahtahum, wa in shi'ta afsadtahum' (O Allah, You kept me among these people for as long as You willed, then You caused me to die, and I entrusted them to You; now, if You will, reform them, and if You will, leave them in corruption and ruin (because of the evil of their deeds)).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا فَظُنُّوا بِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَهْيَأُ ، وَالَّذِي هُوَ أَهْدَى ، وَالَّذِي هُوَ أَتْقَى .
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When I narrate to you a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then think of it (and take its meaning to be) that which is most fitting, most rightly guided and most based on piety."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُجَيٍّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ السَّحَرِ آتِيهِ فِيهَا ، فَكُنْتُ إِذَا أَتَيْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي سَبَّحَ ، فَدَخَلْتُ ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ فَارِغًا أَذِنَ لِي ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ لَيْلَةً فَأَذِنَ لِي ، فَقَالَ : أَتَانِي الْمَلَكُ - أَوْ قَالَ : جِبْرِيلُ - فَقُلْتُ : ادْخُلْ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ مَا لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا ، فَطَلَبْتُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : انْظُرْ ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا جَرْوٌ لِلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَرْبُوطٌ بِقَائِمِ السَّرِيرِ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ - أَوْ : إِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ - لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تِمْثَالٌ ، أَوْ كَلْبٌ ، أَوْ جُنُبٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he stated: "I had an appointed time before dawn (sahar) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in which I would come to him (peace and blessings be upon him). When I came, I would ask permission; if I found him (peace and blessings be upon him) praying, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say the tasbih 'Subhan Allah' (Allah is free of all imperfection) and I would enter, and if I found him (peace and blessings be upon him) free, he would give me permission. One night I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me permission and said: 'The angel came to me', or he said: 'Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me', 'and I said (requesting): "Come in." But he replied: "There is something in the house because of which I cannot enter." I looked and said: "I do not see anything." Then I searched, and he said to me: "Look." I looked carefully and found a puppy belonging to Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) tied to the leg of the bed in the house of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). Then he (Jibril) said: "Indeed the angels", or he said: "We, the company of angels, do not enter a house in which there is an image, a dog or a person in a state of major ritual impurity (one on whom ghusl is obligatory)."'"
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : مَا رَمِدْتُ وَلَا صُدِعْتُ مُنْذُ مَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجْهِي ، وَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنِي يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، حِينَ أَعْطَانِي الرَّايَةَ .
Umm Musa (may Allah have mercy on her) relates that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Ever since the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over my face and put his saliva in my eyes on the day of Khaybar, when he gave me the standard (banner), I have never suffered from eye trouble nor ever had a headache."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى ، قَالَتِ : اسْتَأْذَنَ قَاتِلُ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ، فَقَالَ : لِيَدْخُلِ النَّارَ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيٌّ ، وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ .
Umm Musa (may Allah have mercy on her) relates that the killer of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission (to meet) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "Let him enter the Fire. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Every prophet has a devoted disciple (hawari), and my hawari is al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him).'"
وَبِهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى ، قَالَتْ : ذُكِرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ، فَذَكَرَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَقَدِ ارْتَقَى مَرَّةً شَجَرَةً أَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْتَنِيَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَضَحِكَ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنْ دِقَّةِ سَاقِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا تَضْحَكُونَ ؟ فَلَهُوَ أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ .
Umm Musa (may Allah have mercy on her) relates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was mentioned in the presence of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he described his virtues, then said: "Once he (Ibn Mas'ud) climbed a tree to pick something for his companions, and his companions laughed at the thinness of his shins. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What are you laughing at? Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection this shin of his will be heavier on the Scale of deeds than the mountain of Uhud.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ ، عَنْ أُمِّ مُوسَى ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الصَّلَاةَ ، الصَّلَاةَ ، اتَّقُوا اللهَ فِيمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he stated that the last words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were: "The prayer, the prayer! Fear Allah regarding those whom your right hands possess." (Keep up the prayer, take care of the prayer, and fear Allah in the matter of those under your authority.)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوتِرُ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَفِي وَسَطِهِ وَفِي آخِرِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَثْبَتَ لَهُ الْوِتْرَ فِي آخِرِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the witr in the early part of the night, in the middle part and in the last part (at all these times); then in the end, the last part of the night became established and fixed for him (peace and blessings be upon him) as the time of witr."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الدَّانَاجِ ، عَنْ حُضَيْنٍ أَبِي سَاسَانَ ، أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْوَلِيدِ - أَيْ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ - فَكَلَّمَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ : دُونَكَ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، قَالَ : قُمْ يَا حَسَنُ فَاجْلِدْهُ ، قَالَ : فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ هَذَا ؟ وَلِّ غَيْرِي ، قَالَ : بَلْ ضَعُفْتَ وَوَهَنْتَ ، قُمْ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ فَاجْلِدْهُ ، فَجَعَلَ يَجْلِدُهُ ، وَيَعُدُّ عَلِيٌّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ ، فَقَالَ : كُفَّ - أَوْ : أَرْسِلْهُ - جَلَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ ، وَكَمَّلَهَا عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ .
It is narrated from Hudayn Abu Sasan (may Allah have mercy on him) that some people of Kufah rode to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him of the matter of al-Walid, that he drinks wine. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him about it, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Here is your cousin before you; carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Hasan, get up and flog him." Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What have you to do with this matter? Assign this responsibility to someone else." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Rather, you have become weak and are showing feebleness. O Abdullah bin Ja'far, you get up and flog him." So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) began to flog him while Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept count, until when the number reached forty he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Stop now", or "Let him go. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave forty lashes, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty, while Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) completed it to eighty (80), and all of these are Sunnah."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : جَلَدَ عَلِيٌّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْحَدَّ فِي الْخَمْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ جَلْدَةً بِسَوْطٍ لَهُ طَرَفَانِ .
Abu Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that "Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a man from Quraysh forty lashes as the prescribed punishment (hadd) for drinking wine, with a whip that had two ends (strands)."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ بَيْتَهُ ، وَقَدْ بَالَ ، فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ ، فَجِئْنَاهُ بِعُسٍّ يَمْلَأُ الْمُدَّ ، أَوْ قَرِيبَهُ ، حَتَّى وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أَتَوَضَّأُ لَكَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى ، فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ، قَالَ : فَوُضِعَ لَهُ الْإِنَاءُ ، فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ، وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ فَصَكَّ بِهِمَا فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَالْتَقَمَ إِبْهَامَاهُ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ أَعَادَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ مَاءٍ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَهَا عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهَا تَسْتَنُّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ يَدَهُ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمَا ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَصَكَّ بِهِمَا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَفِيهِمَا النَّعْلُ ، ثُمَّ قَلَبَهَا ، ثُمَّ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، قُلْتُ : فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ ، ثَلَاثًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I visited Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in his house. He had just relieved himself, and he called for water for ablution. So we brought him a large bowl that held about one mudd (measure) or close to it, until it was placed in front of him. Then he said: "Shall I not perform ablution in front of you the way the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed it?" I said: "Certainly, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you." So the vessel was brought near him, and he washed both his hands, then rinsed his mouth and put water in his nose. Then he took water with both his hands and struck (spread) it on his face, and wiped the front part of his ears with his two thumbs. Then he repeated this in the same way three times. Then he took a handful of water in his right hand and poured it on his forehead, then left it to flow down his face. Then he washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, and then washed the other arm in the same way. Then he wiped his head and the outer part of his ears. Then he took water in both his hands and struck (spread) it on both his feet while he was wearing sandals, then turned them over, and did the same with the other foot. I asked (in surprise): "With the sandals on?" He said: "Yes, with the sandals on, three times."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: «نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ لُبِسَ الْمُعَصْفَرِ، وَعَنِ الْقَسِّيِّ، وَعَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ، وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ».، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ أَوْ قَالَ: «وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ»، قَالَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ: إِنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ رَجَعَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: عَنْ جَدِّهِ، فَقَالَ بَعْدُ: عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ فُلَانِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ
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) forbade me from wearing mu'asfar (clothing dyed yellow with safflower), from using qassi (garments with silk stripes), from wearing a gold ring, and from reciting the Qur'an while in the state of bowing." Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him) said: or he said it this way: "And from my reciting the Qur'an while I am bowing." Imam Abu Khaythamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him) retracted his statement in which he had mentioned 'from his grandfather' (in the chain), and afterwards he would narrate it this way: 'from Ibrahim bin so-and-so bin Hunayn, from his father.'
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ عَامِرُ بْنُ وَاثِلَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسِرُّ إِلَيْكَ ؟ فَغَضِبَ ، وَقَالَ : مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسِرُّ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا كَتَمَهُ النَّاسَ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَرْبَعٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : مَا هُنَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ : قَالَ : لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا ، وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ غَيَّرَ مَنَارَ الْأَرْضِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl Amir bin Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came and asked him: "What were the things that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to tell you in secret?" Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell me anything in secret that he (peace and blessings be upon him) concealed from the people; however, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did tell me four statements." The man asked: "O Commander of the Believers, what are those statements?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah curse the one who curses his parents; and may Allah curse the one who slaughters for other than Allah; and may Allah curse the one who gives shelter to a mischief-maker or one who stirs up trouble; and may Allah curse the one who alters the boundaries and landmarks of the land."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُنَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ ، لَا أَقُولُ نَهَى النَّاسَ : عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ ، وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ الْمُفَدَّمِ ، وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from three things, and I do not say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade all the people: from wearing a gold ring, from wearing silk-striped (qassi) garments, from wearing red clothes deeply dyed with safflower, and from reciting the Qur'an while I am bowing or prostrating."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: " نَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ: لَا أَقُولُ نَهَى النَّاسَ، عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ، وَعَنْ لُبِسَ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ الْمُقْدَمِ، وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from three things (and I do not say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade all the people): from wearing a gold ring, from wearing silk-striped garments (al-qassi) and clothes dyed a deep yellow with safflower, and from reciting the Qur'an while I am bowing or prostrating."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ بْنِ يَرِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ ، وَعَنِ الْقَسِّيِّ ، وَعَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ الْحُمْرِ .
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) forbade the use of a gold ring, qassi (a particular silk-striped garment) and red silk saddle-cushions (cushions for camel saddles)."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي ، فَأَتَانَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ بِأَمْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَ السَّبَّابَةِ السَّهْمَ ، وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ خَاتَمِي فِي هَذِهِ ، وَأَوْمَأَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بِإِبْهَامِهِ إِلَى السَّبَّابَةِ أَوِ الْوُسْطَى - قَالَ عَاصِمٌ : فَأَنَا اشْتَبَهَ عَلَيَّ أَيَّتُهُمَا هِيَ - قَالَ : وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمِيثَرَةِ وَالْقَسِّيَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَأَمَّا الْمِيثَرَةُ فَشَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ يَجْعَلُونَهُ عَلَى رِحَالِهِمْ ، وَأَمَّا الْقَسِّيَّةُ فَثِيَابُ الشَّامِ ، قِيلَ : شَامٌ أَوْ مِصْرُ ، مُضَلَّعَةٌ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ، وَفِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَا السَّبَنِيَّ عَرَفْنَا أَنْ هِيَ هِيَ .
Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was sitting with my father when Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us concerning one of the affairs of the people. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Make this supplication: 'Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni' (O Allah, grant me guidance and keep me firm upon what is right); and when asking for guidance, think of finding the right direction (of the road), and when asking for firmness and rightness, keep in mind the accuracy of an archer's aim. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on this finger." (While saying this) Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) pointed with his thumb towards the index finger or the middle finger, and Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I am unsure which of the two fingers was meant. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade the mithrah and the qassi (garments)." Then he explained: "As for the mithrah, it was a saddle-cover or cushion that women used to make for their husbands so that they could place it on the saddles of their mounts; and as for the qassi, it was striped cloth from Syria or Egypt in which silk was mixed, with designs on it like citrons (utrujj)." Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When we saw the cloth called 'sabani', we became certain that this was that forbidden garment.
حَدَّثَنَاه زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ
Imam Abu Ya'la said: Zakariyya (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith to us; he said that Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated to us, with his chain, something similar to it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الْكَاهِلِيُّ ، عَنِ الْخَضِرِ بْنِ الْقَوَّاسِ الْبَجَلِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُخَيْلَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلِ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ ، وَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَسَأُفَسِّرُهَا لَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ ، مَا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ مَرَضٍ ، أَوْ عُقُوبَةٍ ، أَوْ بَلَاءٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ ، وَاللهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُثَنِّيَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعُقُوبَةَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، وَمَا عَفَا اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَاللهُ أَجَلُّ أَنْ يَعُودَ بَعْدَ عَفْوِهِ .
Abu Sukhaylah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not inform you of the most excellent verse in the Book of Allah, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us? 'And whatever calamity befalls you is because of what your own hands have earned, and He pardons much.'" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: "O Ali, I will explain its meaning to you: whatever illness, punishment or trial befalls you in this world is because of what your own hands have done; and Allah Almighty is far too generous to repeat that punishment upon you in the Hereafter. And whatever sin Allah has pardoned in this world, Allah is far too exalted to go back and take you to account for it after His pardon."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَسِيرُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يُلَبِّي بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ : أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَهَيْتُ عَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَدَعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِقَوْلِكَ .
Marwan bin al-Hakam narrates: We were travelling with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) when he heard a man calling out the talbiyah for both Hajj and Umrah together, so he asked: "Who is this?" The people said: "This is Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to him): "Do you not know that I have forbidden this practice?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Certainly, but I am never going to abandon the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) because of your saying."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَفَلَا تَتَّكِلُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى} [الليل: 6]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is none of you except that his place in Paradise and his place in Hell has (already) been written." We said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), should we not then rely (on what has been written for us)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather keep doing deeds, for for each person that deed is made easy (for which he was created)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: "As for the one who gives (in the way of Allah), is mindful of Allah and affirms the best (word of truth), We will ease his way towards ease; and as for the one who is stingy, considers himself free of need and denies the best, We will ease his way towards hardship."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ بَعَثَهُمْ ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا ، قَالَ : فَأَغْضَبُوهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ : اجْمَعُوا لِي حَطَبًا ، فَجَمَعُوا ، فَقَالَ : أَوْقِدُوا نَارًا ، فَأَوْقَدُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَلَمْ يَأْمُرْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي وَتُطِيعُوا ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَادْخُلُوهَا ، قَالَ : فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، وَقَالُوا : إِنَّمَا فَرَرْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، قَالَ : فَسَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ ، وَطُفِئَتِ النَّارُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرُوا لَهُ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا مَا خَرَجُوا مِنْهَا ، إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a man from the Ansar as the commander of a small detachment and sent them off, and he ordered the people to listen to him and obey. Then the people angered the commander over something, whereupon the commander said: "Gather firewood for me." So the people gathered firewood. Then he said: "Light a fire." So the people lit a fire. After that the commander said: "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not order you to listen to me and obey?" The people said: "Yes (he did)." So the commander ordered: "Then enter this fire." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that (on hearing this) the people began to look at one another and said: "We fled from the Fire itself to take refuge with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (so how can we jump into fire?)." Meanwhile the commander's anger cooled down and the fire also went out. Then, when those people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole incident, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If they had entered that fire, they would never have come out of it. Remember! Obedience is obligatory only in what is right (ma'ruf)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I used to think that the soles of the feet (the underside) were more deserving of being wiped than their tops (the upper side), until I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): he (peace and blessings be upon him) would wipe over the tops of his feet."

The man said: It is lame. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If it reaches the place of sacrifice, then slaughter it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to examine the eyes and ears (of the sacrificial animal) carefully."
