Asim bin Damrah reports that once a person asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer voluntary prayers during the day. He replied that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer a total of sixteen rak‘ahs. After performing the Fajr prayer, he would wait for a short while, and when the sun had risen in the east to the extent that it is in the west after the ‘Asr prayer, he would stand and offer two rak‘ahs of prayer. Then he would wait for a short while, and when the sun had risen in the east to the extent that it is in the west after the Zuhr prayer, he would stand and offer four rak‘ahs of prayer. Then, after the sun had passed its zenith, he would offer four rak‘ahs before Zuhr, two rak‘ahs after Zuhr, and four rak‘ahs before ‘Asr.

Qais bin ‘Abad says that once we were with Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Whenever he saw a gathering of people, or climbed a hill, or descended into a valley, he would say: «سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ، صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ.» I said to a man from Banu Yashkur, “Come, let us ask the Commander of the Faithful what he means by «صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ».” So we both went to him and said, “O Commander of the Faithful! We see that whenever you see a gathering, descend into a valley, or climb a hill, you say «صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ». Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tell you something about this?” Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) turned away when he heard our question, but we insisted greatly. When he saw our persistence, he said, “If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me anything, he told it to the people as well. But the people turned against Sayyiduna ‘Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) until they killed him, and after that, the condition and actions of the people besides me were not any better. Then I also felt that I had a right to the caliphate, so I mounted this ride. Now Allah knows whether we did right or wrong.”

Imam Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sharaha Hamdaniyyah became pregnant, even though her husband was not present. So her master brought her to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is possible that he is your husband, or perhaps you were forced into this act? But she kept replying “No” to every question. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) flogged her on Thursday, and on Friday he carried out the punishment of stoning to death, and I was present on both occasions. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered a pit to be dug for her up to her navel, and said that stoning is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the verse of stoning was also revealed. Later, those people of Yamamah who used to recite the verse of stoning and other verses of the Qur’an were destroyed.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "When two parties come to you, do not judge by listening to only one of them, rather listen to both of them.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ : مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَى بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ سورة النساء آية 12 ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَضَى بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ ، وَإِنَّ أَعْيَانَ بَنِي الْأُمِّ يَتَوَارَثُونَ دُونَ بَنِي الْعَلَّاتِ ، يَرِثُ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ لِأَبِيهِ ، وَأُمِّهِ دُونَ أَخِيهِ لِأَبِيهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that "the payment of the deceased's debt will be made before the execution and implementation of the will," whereas in the Qur'an, the mention of the will comes before the debt, and that "uterine brothers will be heirs but consanguine brothers will not be heirs."

Benefit: A brother sharing only the mother is called 'ukhiyafi' and a brother sharing only the father is called 'ilati'.

Nazzal bin Sabrah says that once after the Zuhr prayer, a jug of water was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He was in the courtyard of the mosque. He drank that water while standing and said: Some people consider this disliked, but I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) doing it just as you have seen me doing it.

Once, the mention of the Khawarij was made in the presence of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Among them there will be a man who is deformed in creation. If you had not gone to extremes, I would have told you the promise that Allah has made, through the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to those who kill them. The narrator says: I asked him, "Did you really hear any statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this?" He replied three times, "Yes! By the Lord of the Ka'bah."

Huzain (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Walid bin Uqbah led the people in the Fajr prayer and performed four rak'ahs instead of two. Then he turned to the people and said, "Perhaps I have increased the number of rak'ahs in the prayer?" This matter was presented before Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), so he ordered the punishment for drinking wine to be carried out on Walid. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), "Hasan! Stand up and flog him." He said, "You cannot do this; order someone else to do it." He replied, "In reality, you have become weak and incapable, so Abdullah bin Ja'far! You stand up and carry out the punishment on him." Thus, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) kept flogging him and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept counting. When forty lashes were completed, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Stop. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave forty lashes to the one who drank wine, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty lashes, but Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave eighty lashes, and both are Sunnah."

حَدَّثَنَاه عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ " ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَكُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ " .
The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
Hadith 1238
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنِ الرُّكَيْنِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنَتِهِ ، فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ ، فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ الْمَذْيَ ، فَقَالَ : " ذَلِكَ مَاءُ الْفَحْلِ ، وَلِكُلِّ فَحْلٍ مَاءٌ ، فَلْيَغْسِلْ ذَكَرَهُ وَأُنْثَيَيْهِ ، وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ " .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that discharge of madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) would occur frequently from my body. I felt shy to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue myself because his daughter was married to me. So I asked Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This is the fluid of a man, and it occurs in every strong man. Therefore, when you see madhiy, wash your private part and perform ablution as you do for prayer."
Hadith 1239
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ ، عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعَثَ صَاحِبَ شُرْطَهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَبْعَثُكَ لِمَا بَعَثَنِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَدَعْ قَبْرًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ ، وَلَا تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا وَضَعْتَهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he addressed his companion Hayyan and said: I am sending you for the same task for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me; do not leave any grave without leveling it, and do not leave any image without erasing it.
Hadith 1240
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فِيمَا سَقَتْ السَّمَاءُ فَفِيهِ الْعُشْرُ ، وَمَا سُقِيَ بِالْغَرْبِ وَالدَّالِيَةِ فَفِيهِ نِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : فَحَدَّثْتُ أَبِي بِحَدِيثِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ ، فَأَنْكَرَهُ جَدّاً ، وَكَانَ أَبِي لَا يُحَدِّثُنَا ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ لِضَعْفِهِ عِنْدَهُ ، وَإِنْكَارِهِ لِحَدِيثِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On land irrigated by rainwater, one-tenth (ushr) is obligatory, and on land irrigated by buckets or waterwheels, half of one-tenth is obligatory."
