Hadith 778

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَبِي يَسْمُرُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَلْبَسُ ثِيَابَ الصَّيْفِ فِي الشِّتَاءِ ، وَثِيَابَ الشِّتَاءِ فِي الصَّيْفِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : لَوْ سَأَلْتَهُ ؟ فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَرْمَدُ الْعَيْنِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أَرْمَدُ الْعَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَتَفَلَ فِي عَيْنِي ، وَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُ الْحَرَّ وَالْبَرْدَ " ، فَمَا وَجَدْتُ حَرًّا وَلَا بَرْدًا مُنْذُ يَوْمِئِذٍ ، وَقَالَ : " لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، وَيُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، لَيْسَ بِفَرَّارٍ " ، فَتَشَرَّفَ لَهَا أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَعْطَانِيهَا .
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that my father used to converse with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at night about various matters. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had a strange habit: he would wear warm clothes in the winter and cool clothes in the summer. Someone said to my father, "If you ask Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, perhaps he will answer you?" So, when my father asked, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Once, on the day of the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a messenger to me. I was suffering from an eye disease, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have an eye ailment." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put his saliva in my eyes and prayed: «اَللّٰهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنْهُ الْحَرَّ وَالْبَرْدَ» "O Allah! Remove from him the heat and the cold." From that day until today, I have never felt heat or cold. On that occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said, "I will give this flag to the person who loves Allah and His Messenger, and who is beloved in the sight of Allah and His Messenger, and he will not flee." The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) began to present themselves for this purpose, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted that flag to me.
