Hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 19287 — Hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْوَابٌ شَارِعَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ يَوْمًا : " سُدُّوا هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابَ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : فَتَكَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ النَّاسُ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ ؛ فَإِنِّي أَمَرْتُ بِسَدِّ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ قَائِلُكُمْ ، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا سَدَدْتُ شَيْئًا وَلَا فَتَحْتُهُ ، وَلَكِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِشَيْءٍ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that several companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had doors opening towards Masjid Nabawi. One day, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Close all the doors except the door of Ali." Upon this, some people talked among themselves. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, praised Allah, and after saying 'Amma Ba'd', said: "Some of you object to my order to close all the doors except the door of Ali. By Allah! I do not open or close anything on my own accord, but I have been commanded, and I follow that command."
