Hadith 1056
(حديث قدسي) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ رِدْفَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ ، قَالَ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ " ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى ، قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ " ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ : ثُمَّ " حَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثًا " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ثَلَاثًا " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ " ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ ، " سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ ، قُلْتُ : مَا يُضْحِكُكَ ؟ قَالَ : كُنْتُ رِدْفًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَفَعَلَ كَالَّذِي رَأَيْتَنِي فَعَلْتُ ، " ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا يُضْحِكُكَ ؟ قَالَ : " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى : عَجَبٌ لِعَبْدِي ، يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ غَيْرِي " .
Ali bin Rabi’ah says that once I was riding behind Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). When he placed his foot in the stirrup, he said “Bismillah.” When he sat on it, he recited this supplication: «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ» “All praise is for Allah. Glory be to the One Who has subjected this (animal) to us, for we could not have subdued it (by ourselves), and surely to our Lord we are returning.” Then he said “Alhamdulillah” three times and “Allahu Akbar” three times, and then said: “O Allah! You are pure, there is no deity except You. I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” Then he smiled. I asked, “O Commander of the Believers! What made you smile at this moment?” He replied, “I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do as I have done, and he also smiled. I asked him the reason, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘When the servant says, “My Lord, forgive me,” the Lord is pleased and says: My servant knows that none forgives sins except Me.’”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by me while I was ill, and I was supplicating: "O Allah! If my time of death is near, then grant me relief from this illness and call me to Yourself; if it is delayed, then grant me healing; and if this is a trial, then grant me patience." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What are you saying?" I repeated my words. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed his hand over me and supplicated: «اَللّٰهُمَّ اشْفِهِ أَوْ عَافِهِ» "O Allah! Grant him well-being and healing." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after that, I never suffered that pain again.

Hanish Kanani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that in Yemen, a tribe dug a pit and covered it to hunt a lion. The lion fell into it. Suddenly, a man also fell into the pit, then a second, then a third, until four men fell in. (The lion in the pit wounded all of them. Seeing this, a man quickly grabbed a spear and struck the lion, killing it, but all four men also died from their wounds.) The heirs of the deceased drew their weapons and stood facing each other for battle. In the meantime, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said: "Do you want to kill two hundred men in exchange for four? I will judge between you; if you are satisfied with it, then consider the matter settled. The judgment is that the heirs of the one who fell first and was wounded by the lion should be given a quarter of the blood money, and the fourth should be given the full blood money, the second a third, and the third half of the blood money." The people refused to accept this decision (because they did not understand it). So they went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will judge between you." In the meantime, a man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had already judged between us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then enforced that same judgment.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day we were with a funeral in Baqi when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat down, and we also sat around him. In his blessed hand was a stick with which he was scratching the ground. After a short while, he raised his head and said: "The abode of every one of you—whether in Paradise or in Hell—is already known and determined by Allah, and it has been written whether he is wretched or blessed." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not then rely on what has been written for us and give up action? For whoever is among the blessed will attain bliss, and whoever is among the wretched will attain wretchedness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Continue to act, for everyone will find it easy to do the deeds for which he was created." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an: «﴿فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى ، وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى ، فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى﴾ [الليل : 5-7]» "As for him who gives, fears Allah, and affirms the best (truth), We will indeed ease him towards the path of ease."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and hide him in a pit, and do not do any other work before coming to me." So when I had lowered him into a pit and returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to me: "Go and take a bath, and do not do any other work before coming to me." So I took a bath and presented myself in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me so many supplications that I would not have been as happy to receive red or black camels in exchange. The narrator says that after this, whenever Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a bath to a deceased person, he would also take a bath himself.
