Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

Whoever has me as his wali has Ali as his wali

bazzar:3725 – Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > Saʿd b. ʿUbaydah > Ibn Buraydah > Abīhi

[AI] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on a military detachment and appointed Ali ᴿᴬ over us. When we came back, he said: "How did you find your companion?" He said: Either I complained about him, or someone else complained about him. He said: I raised my head—and I was a man who would keep his head lowered—and there was the Prophet ﷺ, his face had turned red, and he was saying: "Whoever has me as his wali, then Ali is his wali." So I said: I will never upset you regarding him again, ever.

البزّار:٣٧٢٥ – حَدَّثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنَ الْمُثَنَّى قَال حَدَّثنا أَبُو معاوية قَال حَدَّثنا الأَعمَش عَن سَعْد بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَن ابْنِ بُرَيدة عَن أَبيهِ ؓ

قَالَ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ، فَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيًّا ؓ، فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا قَالَ: «كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُمْ صَاحِبَكُمْ؟» قَالَ: فَإِمَّا شَكَوْتُهُ وَإِمَّا شَكَاهُ غَيْرِي، قَالَ: فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي، وَكُنْتُ رَجُلا مِكْبَابًا، فَإِذَا النَّبِيّ ﷺ قَدِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ وهُو يَقُولُ: «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيَّهُ»، فَقُلْتُ: لا أَسُوءُكَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا.

[AI] We sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a secret expedition. When we arrived, he asked, "How did you find the companions of your leader?" I replied, "If I had any complaints about him, I would have voiced them, but someone else may have complaints." He said, "Then I raised my head and I was a humble man. Then I saw that the face of the Prophet ﷺ turned red. He said, 'Whoever I am his supporter, then Ali is his supporter.'"

[AI] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ sent us on a military expedition and appointed Ali as a leader over us. When we returned, we asked, "How did you find the companionship of your leader?"

He said, "Whoever I am a leader for, then Ali is his leader."
