Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet ﷺ said: I have given exemption regarding horses and slaves; with regard to coins, however, you must pay a dirham for every forty (dirhams), but nothing is payable on one hundred and ninety. When the total reaches two hundred, five dirhams are payable. Abu Dawud said: Al-Amash transmitted this tradition from Abu Ishaq like the one transmitted by Abu 'Awanah. This tradition has also been narrated by Shaiban, Abu Muawiyah and Ibrahim bin Tahman from Abu Ishaq from al-Harith on the authority of Ali from the Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. The tradition reported by al-Nufail has also been narrated by Shubah, Sufyan, and others from Abu Ishaq from Asim from Ali, But they did not attribute it to the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Al-Abbas asked the Prophet ﷺ about paying the sadaqah (his zakat) in advance before it became due, and he gave permission to do that. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Hushaim through a different chain of narrators. The version of Hushaim is more sound.

The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Ali through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner from the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Bilal ibn Yahya al-Absi said: Ali found a dinar and purchased some flour with it. The seller of the flour recognised him and returned the dinar to him. Ali took it, deducted two qirat (carat) from it, and purchased meat with it.

Abdullah ibn al-Harith reported on the authority of his father al-Harith: (My father) al-Harith was the governor of at-Taif under the caliph Uthman. He prepared food for Uthman which contained birds and the flesh of wild ass. He sent it to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Messenger came to him he was beating leaves for camels and shaking them off with his hand. He said to him: Eat it. He replied: Give it to the people who are not in sacred state; we are wearing ihram. I adjure the people of Ashja who are present here. Do you know that a man presented a wild ass to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in ihram? But he refused to eat from it. They said: Yes.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet then took up Usamah behind him (on the camel), and drove the camel at a quick pace. The people were beating their camels right and left, but he did not pay attention to them; he was saying: O people, preserve a quiet demeanour. He proceeded (from Arafat) when the sun had set.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: When the morning came, the Prophet ﷺ stood at the mountain Quzah and said: This is Quzah, and this is a place of stationing, and the whole of al-Muzdalifah is a place of stationing. I sacrificed the animals here, and the whole of Mina is a place of sacrifice. So sacrifice in your dwellings.

Ali said “We wrote down nothing on the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but the Quran and what this document contains. ”. He reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “ Madeenah is sacred from A’ir to Thawr so if anyone produces an innovation (in it) or gives protection to an innovator the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. The protection granted by Muslim is one (even if) the humblest of them grants it. So if anyone breaks a covenant made by a Muslim the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him. If anyone attributes his manumission to people without the permission of his masters the curse of Allaah, angels and all men will fall upon him and no repentance or ransom will be accepted from him.

Khalil or Ibn Khalil said “A woman was brought to Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allaah be pleased with him). She bore a child from intercourse of three persons. The narrator transmitted the rest of the tradition similar to the previous one. But in this version he did not mention “Yemen” and the Prophet ﷺ and his words “give the child willingly. ”

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Zayd ibn Harithah went out to Makkah and brought the daughter of Hamzah with him. Then Jafar said: I shall take her; I have more right to her; she is my uncle's daughter and her maternal aunt is my wife; the maternal aunt is like mother. Ali said: I am more entitled to take her. She is my uncle's daughter. The daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is my wife, and she has more right to her. Zayd said: I have more right to her. I went out and journeyed to her, and brought her with me. The Prophet ﷺ came out. The narrator mentioned the rest of the tradition. He (i. e. the Prophet) said: As for the girl, I decided in favour of Jafar. She will live with her maternal aunt. The maternal aunt is like mother.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: When we came out from Makkah, Hamzah's daughter pursued us crying: My uncle. Ali lifted her and took her by the hand. (Addressing Fatimah he said: ) Take your uncle's daughter. She then lifted her. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition. Jafar said: She is my uncle's daughter. Her maternal aunt is my wife. The Prophet ﷺ decided in favour of her maternal aunt, and said: The maternal aunt is like mother.

" Then when he sat on its back, he said: "Praise be to Allah. " He then said: "Glory be to Him Who has made this subservient to us, for we had not the strength, and to our Lord do we return. " He then said: "Praise be to Allah (thrice); Allah is Most Great (thrice): glory be to Thee, I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for only Thou forgivest sins. " He then laughed. He was asked: At what did you laugh? He replied: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do as I have done, and laugh after that. I asked: Messenger of Allah, at what are you laughing? He replied: Your Lord, Most High, is pleased with His servant when he says: "Forgive me my sins. " He know that no one forgives sins except Him.

Ali (Allaah be pleased with him) said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army and appointed a man as a commander for them and he commanded them to listen to him and obey. He kindled fire and ordered them to jump into it. A group refused to enter into it and said “We escaped from the fire; a group intended to enter into it. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed about it, he said “Had they entered into it, they would have remained into it. There is no obedience in matters involving disobedience to Allaah. Obedience is in matters which are good and universally recognized.

Ali said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me Al Zubair and Al Miqdad and said “Go till you come to the meadow of Khakh for there Is a woman there travelling on a Camel who has a letter which you must take from her. We went off racing one another on our horses till we came to the meadow and when we found the woman, we aid “Bring out the letter. She said “I have no letter”. I said “You must bring out the letter else we strip off your clothes”. She then brought it out from the tresses and we took it to the Prophet ﷺ. It was addressed from Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah to some of the polytheists (in Makkah) giving them some information about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked “What is this, Hatib? He replied, Messenger of Allah ﷺ do not be hasty with me. I have been a man attached as an ally to the Quraish and am not one of them while those of the Quraish (i. e. the emigrants) have relationship with them by which they guarded their family in Makkah. As I did not have that advantage I wanted to give them some help for which they might guard my relations. I swear by Allaah I am not guilty of unbelief or apostasy (from my religion). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “he has told you the truth. Umar said “Let me cut off this hypocrite’s head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “He was present at Badr and what do you know, perhaps Allaah might look with pity on those who were present at Badr? And said “Do what you wish, I have forgiven you. ”

Ali said “Hatib went and wrote to the people of Makkah that Muhammad ﷺ is going to proceed to them. This version has “She said “I have no letter. We made her Camel kneel down, but we did not find any letter with her. Ali said “By Him in Whose name oath is taken, I shall kill you or you should bring out the letter. He then narrated the rest of the tradition.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: (At the battle of Badr) Utbah ibn Rabiah came forward followed by his son and his brother and cried out: Who will be engaged in single combat? Some young men of the Helpers responded to his call. He asked: Who are you? They told him. He said: We do not want you; we, in fact, want only our cousins. The Prophet ﷺ said: Get up Hamzah get up Ali; get up Ubaydah ibn al-Harith. Hamzah went forward to Utbah, I went forward to Shaybah; and after two blows had been exchanged between Ubaydah and al-Walid, they wounded one another severely; so we turned against al-Walid and killed him, and we carried Ubaydah away.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Ali separated between a slave-girl and her child. The Prophet ﷺ prohibited it and made the sale transactions withdrawn. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Maimun (b. Abi Shaib) did not meet Ali. He (Maimun) was killed in the battle of Jamajim in 83 A. H. Abu Dawud said: The battle of Harrah took place in 63 A. H., and Ibn al-Zubair was killed in 73 A. H.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Some slaves (of the unbelievers) went out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of al-Hudaybiyyah before treaty. Their masters wrote to him saying: O Muhammad, they have not gone out to you with an interest in your religion, but they have gone out to escape from slavery. Some people said: They have spoken the truth, Messenger of Allah, send them back to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said: I do not see your restraining yourself from this action), group of Quraysh, but that Allah send someone to you who strike your necks. He then refused to return them, and said: They are emancipated (slaves) of Allah, the Exalted.

I asked Abu Ishaq: Did he mention an animal with broken horns and uprooted ears? He said: No. I said: 'What is the Muqabalah ?' He replied: 'It has been cut from the back of its ear. ' I said: 'What about the Sharqa'? He replied: 'The ear has been split. ' I said: 'What about the Kharqa'? He replied: 'A hole is made (in its ears) as a distinguishing mark. '"

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet ﷺ prohibited to sacrifice an animal with a slit ear and broken horn. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Jurayy (b. Kulaib) is Sadusi, and belongs to Basrah. No one narrated traditions from him except Qatadah.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: I memorised (a tradition) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: There is no orphanhood after puberty, and there is no silence for the whole day till the night.

Narrated Malik bin Aws bin Al-Hadathan: Umar sent for me when the day rose high. I found him sitting on a couch without cover. When I entered upon him, he said: Malik, some people of you tribe gradually came here, and I have ordered to give them something, so distribute it among them. I said: If you assigned this (work) to some other person, (it would be better). He said: Take it. Then Yarfa' came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, will you permit Uthman bin Affan, Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, al-Zubair bin al-'Awwam, and Saad b, Abi Waqqas (to enter) ? He said: Yes. So he permitted them and they entered. Yarfa' again came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, would you permit al-Abbas and Ali ? He said: Yes. He then permitted them and they entered. Al-Abbas said: Commander of Faithful, decide between me and this, referring to Ali. Some of them said: Yes, Commander of the Faithful, decide between them and give them comfort. Malik bin Aws said: It occurred to me that both of them brought the other people for this. Umar said: Show patience (do not make haste). He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and al-Abbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They said: Yes. He then said: Allah has appointed for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a special portion (in the booty) which he did not do for anyone. Allah, Most High, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from them - for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Messengers over any He pleases ; and Allah has power over all things". Allah bestowed (the property of) Banu al-Nadir on His Messenger. I swear by Allah, he did not reserve it for himself, nor did he take it over and above you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to his share for his maintenance annually, or used to take his contribution and give his family their annual contribution (from this property), then take what remained and deal with it as he did with Allah's property. He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and al-Abbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Abu Bakr said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then you and this (Ali) came to Abu Bakr, demanding a share from the inheritance of your cousin, and this (Ali) demanding the share of his wife from (the property of her) father. Abu Bakr then said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah. Allah knows that he (Abu Bakr) was true, faithful, rightly-guided, and the follower of Triuth. Abu Bakr then administered it (property of the Prophet). When Abu Bakr died, I said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. So I administered whatever Allah wished. Then you and this (Ali) came. Both of you are at one, and your matter is the same. So they asked me for it (property), and I said: If you wish I give it to you on condition that you are bound by the covenant of Allah, meaning that you will administer it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to administer. So you took it from me on that condition. Then again you have come to me so that I decide between you other than that. I swear by Allah, I shall not decide between you other than that till the Last Hour comes. If you helpless, return it to me. Abu Dawud said: They asked him for making it half between them, and not that they were ignorant of the fact the Prophet ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They were also seeking the truth. Umar then said: I do not apply the name of division to it ; It leave it on its former condition.

Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila: I heard Ali say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ assigned me the fifth (of the booty). I spent it on its beneficiaries during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and of Umar. Some property was brought to him (Umar) and he called me and said: Take it. I said: I dod not want it. He said: Take it ; you have right to it. I said: We do not need it. So he deposited in the government treasury.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: I, al-Abbas, Fatimah and Zayd ibn Harithah gathered with the Prophet ﷺ and I said: Messenger of Allah, if you think to assign us our right (portion) in this fifth ( of the booty) as mentioned in the Book of Allah, and this I may divide during your lifetime so that no one may dispute me after you, then do it. He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar. I met al-Abbas when I came out from Umar. He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom.

Ali bin Abi Talib said “I had an old she Camel that I got as my share from the booty on the day of Badr. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also gave me an old she camel from the fifth that day. When I intended to cohabit with Fathimah daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I made arrangement with a man who was a goldsmith belonging to Banu Qainuqa’ to go with me so that we may bring grass. I intended to sell it to the goldsmith there by seeking help in my wedding feast. While I was collecting for my old Camels saddles, baskets and ropes both of she Camels were seated in a corner of the apartment of a man of the Ansar. When I collected what I collected (i. e., equipment) I turned (towards them). I suddenly found that the humps of she Camels were cut off and their hips were pierced and their lives were taken out. I could not control my eyes (to weep) when I saw that scene. I said “Who has done this?” They (the people) replied “Hamzah bin Abd Al Muttalib”. He is among the drunkards of the Ansar in this house. A singing girl is singing for him and his Companions. While singing she said “Oh Hamza, rise to these plumpy old she Camels. So he jumped to the sword and cut off their humps, pierced their hips and took out their livers. ” Ali said “I went till I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Zaid bin Harithah was with him. ” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ realized what I had met with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ aid “What is the matter with you?” I said Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I never saw the thing that happened with me today. Hamzah wronged my she Camels, he cut off their humps, pierced their hips. Lo! He is in a house with drunkards. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for his cloak. It was brought to him. He then went out, I and Zaid bin Harithah followed him until we reached the house where Hamzah was. He asked permission ( to entre). He was permitted. He found drunkards there. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to rebuke him (Hamzah) for his action. Hamzah was intoxicated and his eyes were reddish. Hamzah looked at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then raised his eyes and looked at his knees, he then raised his eyes and looked at his navel and he then raised his eyes and looked at his face. Hamzah then said “Are you but the salves of my father? Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ knew that he was intoxicated. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved backward. He then went out and we also went out with him. ”

Ibn A’bud said, Ali said to me “May I not narrate you about me and Fathimah daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? She was most favorite to him of his family. ” I said “Yes”. He said “She pulled the grinding stone with her hand so much that it affected her hand, she carried water in a water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest, she swept the house so much so that her clothes became dirty. The Prophet ﷺ acquired some slaves”. So I said “Would that you go to your father and ask him for a slave. She then came to him and found some people with him talking to him. She therefore returned. Next day she came again. He asked (her), what was your need? But she kept silence. So I said, I inform you, Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She pulled grinding stone so much that it affected her hand, she carried water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest. When the slaves were brought to you I asked her to come to you and to ask you for a slave to save her from the exertion she is suffering. ” He said “Fear Allaah, Fathimah and perform the duty of your Lord and do the work of your family. ” When you go to bed say “Glory be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Praise be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Allaah is Most Great” thirty four times. This is hundred times. That will be better for you than a servant. She said “I am pleased with Allaah, Most High and with his Messenger ﷺ. ”

Ali said “If I survive for the Christians of Banu Taghlib I shall kill fighters and captivate children for I had written a document between them and the Prophet ﷺ to the effect that they would not make their children Christian. Abu Dawud said “This is rejected (munkar) tradition and it has reached me from Ahmad (bin Hanbal) that he used to reject this tradition seriously. Abu Ali said “Abu Dawud did not present this (tradition) in this second reading. ”

Narrated Ali: If a man visits a patient in the evening, seventy thousand angels come along with him seeking forgiveness from Allah for him till the morning, and he will have a garden in the Paradise.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ali from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version does not mention the word "garden" (khartf). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Mansur from al-Hakkam as narrated by Shubah.

Narrated Abu Jafar Abdullah bin Nafi, the slave of al-Hasan bin Ali: Abu Musa paid a sick visit to al-Hasan bin Ali. Abu Dawud said: He narrated the tradition to the same effect as narrated by Shubah. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Ali from the Prophet ﷺ without any sound manner.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not unveil your thigh, and do not look at the thigh of the living and the dead.
