It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (the use of) a gold ring, silk, and a red saddlecloth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "An 'abd mukatab, that is, a slave with whom the master has made an agreement for freedom upon payment of a specified amount, becomes entitled to the same proportion of blood money as the amount he has paid."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army and appointed an Ansari as their commander. He lit a fire and said, "Enter this fire." The people were just considering jumping into it when a young man said, "It is from this very fire that we have fled and taken refuge with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So the entire incident was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to those who intended to enter it, "If you had entered it once, you would never have come out of it again." And praising the others, he said: "There is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah. Obedience is only in good deeds."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the people: "What is your opinion regarding this surplus wealth that has remained with us?" The people said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Because of us, you have been kept away from your family, your business, and your trade, so you should keep it." He asked me: "What is your opinion?" I said: "The people have already given you their advice." He said: "You too should give some opinion." I said: "Why are you turning your certainty into doubt?" He said: "You yourself explain your statement." I said: "Very well, I will certainly explain it. You may remember that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent you to collect charity and zakat. You came to Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he refused to give zakat. There was some dispute between you two. You said to me: 'Come with me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).' We went there, but we did not see the usual cheerfulness in the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so we returned. The next day, when we went again, we found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cheerful. Then you informed him about Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said to you: 'Do you not know that a man's uncle is in the position of his father?' Then we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his state on the first day and the second day. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When you both came to me the first day, I had two dinars of zakat left with me. That is why you saw me in a heavy mood. And when you both came to me today, I had already given them to someone, and that is why you found me cheerful.' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), after hearing this from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), said: 'You have spoken the truth. By Allah! I will remain grateful to you in this world and the Hereafter.'"

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that upon facing any hardship or affliction, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me this supplication, whose translation is: There is no deity except Allah, He is Most Forbearing and Most Merciful. Allah is free from every defect and imperfection. The Being of Allah is greatly blessed, He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne, and all praise is for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever, while performing ghusl in the state of major impurity, leaves even an area equal to a single hair where water does not reach, Allah the Exalted will deal with him in such and such a manner in Hell. From that very moment, I developed enmity with my hair.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in seven garments.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say the opening takbeer (takbeer-e-tahreema), after reciting the thana, he would say: "I have turned my face, being completely devoted and as a Muslim, towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not among the polytheists. My prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. He has no partner. I have been commanded this, and I am among the Muslims. O Allah! You are the true King, there is no deity except You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sins, so forgive all my sins, for none forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of character, for none guides to the best of character except You, and keep me away from bad character, for none can keep me away from it except You. You are Most Blessed and Most Exalted. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance."

When he would go into ruku (bowing), he would say: "O Allah! I have bowed for You, I have believed in You, I have submitted to You. My hearing, my sight, my mind, my bones, and my tendons are all humbled before You."

When he would rise from ruku, after saying «سمع الله لمن حمده» and «ربنا ولك الحمد» , he would say: "All praise is for You, which fills the heavens, the earth, and whatever is between them, and whatever else You will to fill."

When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go into sajdah (prostration), he would say: "O Allah! I have prostrated for You, I have believed in You, I have submitted to You. My face has prostrated before the One who created it and fashioned it well, and gave it hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators."

And when he would turn for salam (ending the prayer), he would say: "O Allah! Forgive all my past and future sins, my hidden and apparent sins, and whatever I have transgressed, and whatever You know better than me. You are the First and the Last, and there is no deity except You."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! Please tell me, if after you a boy is born to me, can I name him after you and give him your kunyah?" He replied, "Yes!" This was a permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned to me that only a hypocrite can bear hatred towards you, and only a believer can love you.
