Sahih Muslim — The Merits of the Companions

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari with a slight variation of wording

حدثنا ابو الربيع العتكي، حدثنا حماد، عن ايوب، عن ابي عثمان النهدي، عن ابي موسى الاشعري، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل حايطا وامرني ان احفظ الباب . بمعنى حديث عثمان بن غياث

Abu Musa Ash'ari reported that he performed ablution in his house and then came out saying:I would remain with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the whole day long. He came to the mosque, and asked about Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). They (his Companions) said: He has gone in this direction. He (Abu Musa Ash'ari) said: I followed his steps asking about him until I came to Bi'r Aris (it is a well in the suburb of Medina). I sat by its wooden door until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had relieved himself and then performed ablution. I went to him and he was sitting with his shanks uncovered hp to the knees and his legs dangl- ing in that well. I offered him salutations. I then came back and sat at the door as if I had been a chamberlain at the door of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that day. There came Abu Bakr and knocked the door and I said: Who is it? He said: This is Abu Bakr. I said: Wait, please. I went and said: Allah's Messenger, here is Abu Bakr seeking permission. Thereupon he said: Admit him and give him glad tidings of Paradise. I came and I said to Abu Bakr to get in (and also told him) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was giving him the glad tidings of Paradise. Abu Bakr got in and sat on the right side of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and dangled his feet in the well as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had done, and he uncovered his shanks. I then returned and sat there and I had left my brother as he had been performing ablution and he was to meet me and I said: If Allah would intend goodness for such and such he would intend goodness for his brother and He would bring him. I was thinking this that a person stirred the door. I said: Who is it. He said: This is Umar b., Khattab. I said: Wait. Then I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), greeted him and said: Here is 'Umar seeking your. permission to get in. Thereupon he said: Let him come in and give him glad tid- ings of Paradise. I came to Umar and said: There is permission for you and glad tidings for you from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for Paradise. He got in and sat on the left side of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with his feet dangling in the well. I then returned and sat and said: If Allah would intend goodness for such and such (that is for his brother), He would bring him. And I was contemplat- ing over it that a man stirred the door and I said: Who is it? He said: This is Uthman b. Affan. I said: Wait, please. I then came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him. and he said: Admit him and give him glad tidings (and inform) him of the turmoil which he shall have to face. I came and said: Get in, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gives you the glad tidings of Paradise along with the trial which you shall have to face. He got in and saw the elevated plan round the well fully occupied. He sat on the other side. Sharik said that Sa'id b. al-Musayyib reported: I drew a conclusion from it that their groves would be (in this very state, the graves of Hadrat Abu Bakr, 'Umar Faruq by the tide of the Prophet [may peace be upon him] and the grave of Hadrat 'Uthman away from their graves

حدثنا محمد بن مسكين اليمامي، حدثنا يحيى بن حسان، حدثنا سليمان، - وهو ابن بلال - عن شريك بن ابي نمر، عن سعيد بن المسيب، اخبرني ابو موسى الاشعري، انه توضا في بيته ثم خرج فقال لالزمن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولاكونن معه يومي هذا . قال فجاء المسجد فسال عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالوا خرج . وجه ها هنا - قال - فخرجت على اثره اسال عنه حتى دخل بير اريس - قال - فجلست عند الباب وبابها من جريد حتى قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حاجته وتوضا فقمت اليه فاذا هو قد جلس على بير اريس وتوسط قفها وكشف عن ساقيه ودلاهما في البير - قال - فسلمت عليه ثم انصرفت فجلست عند الباب فقلت لاكونن بواب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اليوم . فجاء ابو بكر فدفع الباب فقلت من هذا فقال ابو بكر . فقلت على رسلك - قال - ثم ذهبت فقلت يا رسول الله هذا ابو بكر يستاذن فقال " ايذن له وبشره بالجنة " . قال فاقبلت حتى قلت لابي بكر ادخل ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يبشرك بالجنة - قال - فدخل ابو بكر فجلس عن يمين رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم معه في القف ودلى رجليه في البير كما صنع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكشف عن ساقيه ثم رجعت فجلست وقد تركت اخي يتوضا ويلحقني فقلت ان يرد الله بفلان - يريد اخاه - خيرا يات به . فاذا انسان يحرك الباب فقلت من هذا فقال عمر بن الخطاب . فقلت على رسلك . ثم جيت الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسلمت عليه وقلت هذا عمر يستاذن فقال " ايذن له وبشره بالجنة " . فجيت عمر فقلت اذن ويبشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالجنة - قال - فدخل فجلس مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في القف عن يساره ودلى رجليه في البير ثم رجعت فجلست فقلت ان يرد الله بفلان خيرا - يعني اخاه - يات به فجاء انسان فحرك الباب فقلت من هذا فقال عثمان بن عفان . فقلت على رسلك - قال - وجيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبرته فقال " ايذن له وبشره بالجنة مع بلوى تصيبه " . قال فجيت فقلت ادخل ويبشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالجنة مع بلوى تصيبك - قال - فدخل فوجد القف قد ملي فجلس وجاههم من الشق الاخر . قال شريك فقال سعيد بن المسيب فاولتها قبورهم

Abu Musa. reported:I set out with the intention (of meeting) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and came to know that he had gone to the gardens (in the suburb of Medina). I followed him and found him in a garden sitting upon an elevated place round the well with his shanks uncovered which had been dangling in the well. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation that there is no mention of the words of Sa'id: all drew a conclusion from it pertaining to their graves

حدثنيه ابو بكر بن اسحاق، حدثنا سعيد بن عفير، حدثني سليمان بن بلال، حدثني شريك بن عبد الله بن ابي نمر، سمعت سعيد بن المسيب، يقول حدثني ابو موسى الاشعري، ها هنا - واشار لي سليمان الى مجلس سعيد ناحية المقصورة - قال ابو موسى خرجت اريد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فوجدته قد سلك في الاموال فتبعته فوجدته قد دخل مالا فجلس في القف وكشف عن ساقيه ودلاهما في البير . وساق الحديث بمعنى حديث يحيى بن حسان ولم يذكر قول سعيد فاولتها قبورهم

Sa'id b. al-Musayyib reported Abu Musa Ash'ari having said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out one day to the suburbs of Medina for reliev- ing himself. I followed his steps. The rest of the hadith is the same. Ibn Musayyib said:I concluded (from the manner of their sitting) the (order) of their graves. (The three) would be together (the graves of the Holy Prophet, Hadrat Abu Bakr and Hadrat Umar) and that of 'Uthman would be separate (from them)

حدثنا حسن بن علي الحلواني، وابو بكر بن اسحاق قالا حدثنا سعيد بن ابي، مريم حدثنا محمد بن جعفر بن ابي كثير، اخبرني شريك بن عبد الله بن ابي نمر، عن سعيد، بن المسيب عن ابي موسى الاشعري، قال خرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما الى حايط بالمدينة لحاجته فخرجت في اثره . واقتص الحديث بمعنى حديث سليمان بن بلال وذكر في الحديث قال ابن المسيب . فتاولت ذلك قبورهم اجتمعت ها هنا وانفرد عثمان

Amir b Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas reported (on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) addressing 'Ali said:You are in the same position with relation to me as Aaron (Harun) was in relation to Moses but with (this explicit difference) that there is no prophet after me. Sa'd said: I had an earnest desire to hear it directly from Sa'd, so I met him and narrated to him what (his son) Amir had narrated to me, whereupon he said: Yes, I did hear it. I said: Did you hear it yourself? Thereupon he placed his fingers upon his ears and said: Yes, and if not, let both my ears become deaf

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى التميمي، وابو جعفر محمد بن الصباح وعبيد الله القواريري وسريج بن يونس كلهم عن يوسف الماجشون، - واللفظ لابن الصباح - حدثنا يوسف، ابو سلمة الماجشون حدثنا محمد بن المنكدر، عن سعيد بن المسيب، عن عامر بن سعد، بن ابي وقاص عن ابيه، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعلي " انت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى الا انه لا نبي بعدي " . قال سعيد فاحببت ان اشافه بها سعدا فلقيت سعدا فحدثته بما حدثني عامر فقال انا سمعته . فقلت انت سمعته فوضع اصبعيه على اذنيه فقال نعم والا فاستكتا

Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) left 'Ali b. Abi Talib behind him (as he proceeded) to the expedition of Tabuk, whereupon he ('Ali) said:Allah's Messenger, are you leaving me behind amongst women and children? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there would be no prophet after me?

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا غندر، عن شعبة، ح وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابن بشار قالا حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن الحكم، عن مصعب بن سعد بن، ابي وقاص عن سعد بن ابي وقاص، قال خلف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي بن ابي طالب في غزوة تبوك فقال يا رسول الله تخلفني في النساء والصبيان فقال " اما ترضى ان تكون مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى غير انه لا نبي بعدي

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters

حدثنا عبيد الله بن معاذ، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا شعبة، في هذا الاسناد

Amir b. Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that Muawiya b. Abi Sufyan appointed Sa'd as the Governor and said:What prevents you from rebuking Abu Turab (Hadrat 'Ali), whereupon be said: It is because of three things which I remember Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said about him that I would not rebuke him and even if I find one of those three things for me, it would be more dear to me than the red camels. I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say about 'Ali as he left him behind in one of his campaigns (that was Tabuk). 'Ali said to him: Allah's Messenger, you leave me behind along with women and children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me. And I (also) heard him say on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person who loves Allah and his Messenger, and Allah and his Messenger love him too. He (the narrator) said: We had been anxiously waiting for it, when he (the Holy Prophet) said: Call 'Ali. He was called and his eyes were inflamed. He applied saliva to his eyes and handed over the standard to him, and Allah gave him victory. (The third occasion is this) when the (following) verse was revealed: "Let us summon our children and your children." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called 'Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain and said: O Allah, they are my family

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، ومحمد بن عباد، - وتقاربا في اللفظ - قالا حدثنا حاتم، - وهو ابن اسماعيل - عن بكير بن مسمار، عن عامر بن سعد بن ابي وقاص، عن ابيه، قال امر معاوية بن ابي سفيان سعدا فقال ما منعك ان تسب ابا التراب فقال اما ما ذكرت ثلاثا قالهن له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلن اسبه لان تكون لي واحدة منهن احب الى من حمر النعم سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول له خلفه في بعض مغازيه فقال له علي يا رسول الله خلفتني مع النساء والصبيان فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اما ترضى ان تكون مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى الا انه لا نبوة بعدي " . وسمعته يقول يوم خيبر " لاعطين الراية رجلا يحب الله ورسوله ويحبه الله ورسوله " . قال فتطاولنا لها فقال " ادعوا لي عليا " . فاتي به ارمد فبصق في عينه ودفع الراية اليه ففتح الله عليه ولما نزلت هذه الاية { فقل تعالوا ندع ابناءنا وابناءكم} دعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عليا وفاطمة وحسنا وحسينا فقال " اللهم هولاء اهلي

Sa'd reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying to 'Ali:Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses?

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا غندر، عن شعبة، ح وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابن بشار قالا حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن سعد بن ابراهيم، سمعت ابراهيم، بن سعد عن سعد، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انه قال لعلي " اما ترضى ان تكون مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى

Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the Day of Khaibar:I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand. Umar b. Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called 'Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا يعقوب، - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن القاري - عن سهيل، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يوم خيبر " لاعطين هذه الراية رجلا يحب الله ورسوله يفتح الله على يديه " . قال عمر بن الخطاب ما احببت الامارة الا يوميذ - قال - فتساورت لها رجاء ان ادعى لها - قال - فدعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي بن ابي طالب فاعطاه اياها وقال " امش ولا تلتفت حتى يفتح الله عليك " . قال فسار علي شييا ثم وقف ولم يلتفت فصرخ يا رسول الله على ماذا اقاتل الناس قال " قاتلهم حتى يشهدوا ان لا اله الا الله وان محمدا رسول الله فاذا فعلوا ذلك فقد منعوا منك دماءهم واموالهم الا بحقها وحسابهم على الله

Sahl b. Sa'd reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the Day of Khaibar:I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) all of them hoping that that would be given to him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Where is 'Ali b. Abu Talib? They said: Allah's Messenger, his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right, as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard. 'Ali said: Allah's Messenger, I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا عبد العزيز، - يعني ابن ابي حازم - عن ابي، حازم عن سهل، ح وحدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، - واللفظ هذا - حدثنا يعقوب، - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن - عن ابي حازم، اخبرني سهل بن سعد، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يوم خيبر " لاعطين هذه الراية رجلا يفتح الله على يديه يحب الله ورسوله ويحبه الله ورسوله " . قال فبات الناس يدوكون ليلتهم ايهم يعطاها - قال - فلما اصبح الناس غدوا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كلهم يرجون ان يعطاها فقال " اين علي بن ابي طالب " . فقالوا هو يا رسول الله يشتكي عينيه - قال - فارسلوا اليه فاتي به فبصق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في عينيه ودعا له فبرا حتى كان لم يكن به وجع فاعطاه الراية فقال علي يا رسول الله اقاتلهم حتى يكونوا مثلنا . فقال " انفذ على رسلك حتى تنزل بساحتهم ثم ادعهم الى الاسلام واخبرهم بما يجب عليهم من حق الله فيه فوالله لان يهدي الله بك رجلا واحدا خير لك من ان يكون لك حمر النعم

Salama b. Akwa' reported that it was 'Ali whom Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) left behind him (in the charge of his family and the Islamic State) on the occasion of the campaign of Khaibar, and his eyes were inflamed and he said:Is it for me to remain behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? So he went forth and rejoined Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and on the evening of that night (after which) next morning Allah granted victory. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I will certainly give this standard to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love. or he said: Who loves Allah or His Messenger and Allah will grant him victory through him, and, lo, we saw 'Ali whom we least expected (to be present on that occasion). They (the Companions) said: Here is 'Ali. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon hin) gave him the standard. Allah granted victory at his hand

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا حاتم، - يعني ابن اسماعيل - عن يزيد بن ابي، عبيد عن سلمة بن الاكوع، قال كان علي قد تخلف عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في خيبر وكان رمدا فقال انا اتخلف عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . فخرج علي فلحق بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما كان مساء الليلة التي فتحها الله في صباحها قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاعطين الراية - او لياخذن بالراية - غدا رجل يحبه الله ورسوله او قال يحب الله ورسوله يفتح الله عليه " . فاذا نحن بعلي وما نرجوه فقالوا هذا علي . فاعطاه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الراية ففتح الله عليه

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him:Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes

حدثني زهير بن حرب، وشجاع بن مخلد، جميعا عن ابن علية، قال زهير حدثنا اسماعيل بن ابراهيم، حدثني ابو حيان، حدثني يزيد بن حيان، قال انطلقت انا وحصين، بن سبرة وعمر بن مسلم الى زيد بن ارقم فلما جلسنا اليه قال له حصين لقد لقيت يا زيد خيرا كثيرا رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وسمعت حديثه وغزوت معه وصليت خلفه لقد لقيت يا زيد خيرا كثيرا حدثنا يا زيد ما سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال - يا ابن اخي والله لقد كبرت سني وقدم عهدي ونسيت بعض الذي كنت اعي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فما حدثتكم فاقبلوا وما لا فلا تكلفونيه . ثم قال قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما فينا خطيبا بماء يدعى خما بين مكة والمدينة فحمد الله واثنى عليه ووعظ وذكر ثم قال " اما بعد الا ايها الناس فانما انا بشر يوشك ان ياتي رسول ربي فاجيب وانا تارك فيكم ثقلين اولهما كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور فخذوا بكتاب الله واستمسكوا به " . فحث على كتاب الله ورغب فيه ثم قال " واهل بيتي اذكركم الله في اهل بيتي اذكركم الله في اهل بيتي اذكركم الله في اهل بيتي " . فقال له حصين ومن اهل بيته يا زيد اليس نساوه من اهل بيته قال نساوه من اهل بيته ولكن اهل بيته من حرم الصدقة بعده . قال ومن هم قال هم ال علي وال عقيل وال جعفر وال عباس . قال كل هولاء حرم الصدقة قال نعم

وحدثنا محمد بن بكار بن الريان، حدثنا حسان، - يعني ابن ابراهيم - عن سعيد بن مسروق، عن يزيد بن حيان، عن زيد بن ارقم، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم . وساق الحديث بنحوه بمعنى حديث زهير

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Hayyan but with this addition:" The Book of Allah contains right guidance, the light, and whoever adheres to it and holds it fast, he is upon right guidance and whosoever deviates from it goes astray

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا محمد بن فضيل، ح وحدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا جرير، كلاهما عن ابي حيان، بهذا الاسناد . نحو حديث اسماعيل وزاد في حديث جرير " كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور من استمسك به واخذ به كان على الهدى ومن اخطاه ضل

Yazid b. Hayyan reported:We went to him (Zaid b. Arqam) and said to him. You have found goodness (for you had the honour) to live in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and offered prayer behind him, and the rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation of wording that lie said: Behold, for I am leaving amongst you two weighty things, one of which is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, and that is the rope of Allah. He who holds it fast would be on right guidance and he who abandons it would be in error, and in this (hadith) these words are also found: We said: Who are amongst the members of the household? Aren't the wives (of the Holy Prophet) included amongst the members of his house hold? Thereupon he said: No, by Allah, a woman lives with a man (as his wife) for a certain period; he then divorces her and she goes back to her parents and to her people; the members of his household include his ownself and his kith and kin (who are related to him by blood) and for him the acceptance of Zakat is prohibited

حدثنا محمد بن بكار بن الريان، حدثنا حسان، - يعني ابن ابراهيم - عن سعيد، - وهو ابن مسروق - عن يزيد بن حيان، عن زيد بن ارقم، قال دخلنا عليه فقلنا له لقد رايت خيرا . لقد صاحبت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وصليت خلفه . وساق الحديث بنحو حديث ابي حيان غير انه قال " الا واني تارك فيكم ثقلين احدهما كتاب الله عز وجل هو حبل الله من اتبعه كان على الهدى ومن تركه كان على ضلالة " . وفيه فقلنا من اهل بيته نساوه قال لا وايم الله ان المراة تكون مع الرجل العصر من الدهر ثم يطلقها فترجع الى ابيها وقومها اهل بيته اصله وعصبته الذين حرموا الصدقة بعده

Sahl b. Sa`d reported that a person from the offspring of Marwan was appointed as the governor of Medina. He called Sahl b. Sa`d and ordered him to abuse `Ali. Sahl refused to do that. He (the governor) said to him:If you do not agree to it (at least) say: May Allah curse Abu Turab. Sahl said: There was no name dearer to `Ali than Abu Turab (for it was given to him by the Prophet himself) and he felt delighted when he was called by this name. He (the governor) said to him: Narrate to us the story of his being named as Abu Turab. He said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to the house of Fatima and he did not find `Ali in the house; whereupon he said: Where is your uncle's son? She said: (There cropped up something) between me and him which had annoyed him with me. He went out and did not rest here. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked a person to find out where he was. He came and said: Allah's Messenger, he is sleeping in the mosque. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found him lying in the mosque and saw that his mantle had slipped from his back and his back was covered with dust and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) began to wipe it away from him (from the body of Hadrat `Ali) saying: Get up, covered with dust (Abu Turab); get up, covered with dust

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: What brings you here? Thereupon he said: I harboured fear (lest any harm should come to) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), so I came to serve as your sentinel. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked blessings upon him. He then slept. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Rumh with a slight variation of wording
