Once, I visited at night, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said, "A strange incident happened tonight. I felt someone's movement in the house, so I became anxious and came out, and there was Jibreel (peace be upon him) standing in front of me. I asked him, 'Why did you not come inside the house?' He said, 'A dog has entered your room from somewhere, so I cannot come inside.' And indeed, under Hasan's chair, there was a puppy. And he said, 'The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog, a person in a state of major impurity, or a picture.'"

Tariq bin Ziyad says that we went out with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to fight the Khawarij. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) fought them and said: "Behold! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Soon a people will emerge who will speak correct words but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out from the truth just as an arrow goes out from the prey. Their sign will be that among them there will be a man whose hand will be incomplete, and in his hand (palm) there will be black hair.'" Now, if this is the case, then you have purified the world from the existence of the worst man, and if it is not so, then you have killed the best man. Hearing this, we began to weep. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Search for him." So we searched for him and found a man with a defective hand. Upon seeing him, we fell into prostration, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also prostrated with us. However, he also said that their words were correct.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once someone asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! After you, whom should we appoint as our leader? He replied: "If you appoint Abu Bakr as leader, you will find him trustworthy, disinterested in the world, and eager for the Hereafter. If you appoint Umar as leader, you will find him strong and trustworthy; he does not care about the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah. And if you appoint Ali as leader—but I think you will not do so—you will find him a guide and rightly guided, who will lead you on the straight path."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Discharge of madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) would occur frequently from my body. Even in cold weather, I would perform ghusl (ritual bath) so much because of it that my back became sore.

When you see madhiy, wash your private part and perform wudu (ablution) as you do for prayer, and if semen is discharged, then perform ghusl."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " فِي الْمَذْيِ الْوُضُوءُ ، وَفِي الْمَنِيِّ الْغُسْلُ " .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I suffered from excessive discharge of madhiy.

Hadith 870
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً ، فَأَمَرْتُ رَجُلًا فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ " .

Hadith 878
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، أخبرنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ؟ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ، ثُمَّ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ " .
It is narrated from Abu Juhaifa that on one occasion, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Shall I not tell you who is the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He is Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), then Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him), then there is another man.
