حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ أَوْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ وَأَبُو سَرِيحَةَ هُوَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

Brief Explanation
1؎: The statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: “«من کنت مولاہ فعلی مولاہ»” has a specific context. It is said that when Usamah radi Allahu anhu said to Ali radi Allahu anhu: “«لست مولای إنما مولای رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم»” — meaning, “You are not my master, rather the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is” — it was on this occasion that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “«من کنت مولاہ فعليّ مولاہ»”. Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah says that here “wali” means «ولاء الإسلام», that is, Islamic friendship and brotherhood. Therefore, the argument of the Shia, who use this statement to claim that Ali radi Allahu anhu was the rightful successor to the caliphate after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, is not correct.
